Flower


因为repeal377a，同性恋的议题又在这座小城引起人们的热烈讨论。
应该与不应该、接受或反对，城人们各持己见，最后连议员的性向也被拿出来讨论一番。

昨天在整理房间时找到了念书时的一份讲义，是当时的讲师跟他的大学教授Dr Nirmala Purushotam所做的一篇访谈。
这份讲义，关于我们这个父系(patriarchal)社会和这样一个世代的产物。
因为难忘访谈的内容，因为教授的一些理念让当时的我很是震撼，讲义，我一直收着。

两、三年前，我可能会很热血地号召亲朋好友上网支持这项运动。但那种旺盛的精力已不复，只有亲身去签名来支持了。

现在，也只想分享讲义上的一段话：

“I think for me, each human being has got different potentials. I've seen boy children who are very sensitive and very gentle. And if those are the qualities in that child, I would love to see them flower... It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. I do believe that people are born with different kinds of qualities. I wouldn't go by gender, I would go by the child concerned.”

我们不是随便的花朵。
