My Response to Shakuntala Gopinath

I  was given this link to Ms. Shakuntala Gopinath's  wisdom filled  response, to a gay person, who was seeking a solution to his issue.  Watching  the way she  filed her  response, i just  decided to answer her back in my own style. The part in italics  are Ms. Gopinath's response,  the other is mine.

I read your letter. I guess you are close to 28 years old. You work for a private company. You are a loner. Your handwriting is quite feminine and tells me you are an effeminate man . I think one of the following is the reason why you are a homosexual.


I also read your response, and going by it, I can guess your age must be mentally around 10, maybe 13. You are also  pretty much a loser. Since I read your response online, i can't  make out from your hand writing, but from your  response, i can safely assume you have put  your brain, and all values of compassion, understanding, tolerance somewhere in deep freeze. 

1. Homosexuality is a genetic disorder




The jury is still out on this, while there is one school that believes  Homosexuality could be a genetic disorder, another  is not too comfortable with the fact. There have been studies in the past to prove that Homosexuality could be genetic, but again it is still in the realm of speculation. While it can't be said definitively that Homosexuality is not a genetic disorder, it can't be claimed with definitive proof that it is. The fact is the entire issue of Homosexuality is a complex one, and reducing it to a single point called "genetic disorder" makes no sense.

2. Your mother is dead and you were raised by a strict father (or) your father is dead and you were raised by a selfish mother (or) you are younger to 3-4 sisters . You have been exposed at a very young age to lot of women nudity, mostly ugly ones. You got repelled by that without proper understanding.

I can conclude you were raised by a Dad, who  passed on his closed  mindset to you and your family. The poor guy may have been just exposed to ugly nudity, but you Ms.Gopinath, have been exposed only to the ugliest kind of values, that urges one to shut off their minds to what they don't  understand.Homosexuals come from perfectly normal families. In fact many cases i have seen parents wondering where they went wrong, when it turns out their son is a homosexual.

3. You have bad friends who engage in homosexuality and talk about it

I guess you must have had the worst kind of friends.

4. You are irrationally angry towards the world and the society. You just want to contradict, and be rebellious, for the sake of it.

Right  and you  just want to make a statement for the sake of it.

5. You are a half-baked atheist, who doesn’t believe in god. No religion in the world approves homosexuality

You are atheist, you don't believe in God, No Religion approves of homosexuality, so you also must be Homosexual. Sounds like one of those   A belongs to X community, A  has a Beard, so all members of X will have Beards.

6. You have a wrong scientific mentality that leads you to think that you know everything

Better than having no  sensibility at all.


8. You are a trouble maker , anti-social

Basically the biggest trouble to Society, comes from Do gooder Busy Bodies like you.

I completely detest homosexuals. We are all created to lead a life in tune with Nature. Man – Woman relationship is like a relay race, it leads humanity to future generations. It is not just for sex, but it is very important for the unit called family.  We all eat with our mouth, for a change can we try eating with something else? Is that even possible? No.

Stupidity, Bigotry, Ignorance all in one single post. My question is how is this woman even allowed to write.

May be they can adopt,  but let me tell you, kids raised by same-sex couples will end up as criminals or mentally retarded.

So  were  Auto Shankar, Charles Manson, Boston Strangler, Ted Bundy  all  raised  by  same sex couples,err I mean adopted.

If you parents look for a match for you, don’t say No. Let them. Try to find a manly-looking girl, like actress Tabu.

Tabu to me has been one of the most graceful looking actress, when you insinuate manly looking, just shows the warped view of feminity you have.


I will offer you advice for a good life. Will you listen to me, Son?

Thanks but no thanks.

Sorry if  the  post  sounded  a bit too personal, but  the  way the columnist attacked the  respondent  was insensitive.  My  father himself is a doctor, counselling people on sexual problems, the first principle he adopts is  never be over critical. Try to understand their problem, counsel them out of it. Here the columnist,  openly  makes  presumptions about  the  person's  character, family background,  calls him names, THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO OFFER A SOLUTION, DAMN IT.   The  fault lies clearly with the magazine, when counselling on sexual  problems  get  people who have experience in that field, please, people who  have actually spent time with the patients.  This kind of  insensitive, homophobic, shallow ranting, does not solve any issue at all.
