LGBT could be stoned in Brunei. That was the case for few months until recently Brunei changed the decision.

l don't support LGBT but I also don't want them hurt. We have peacefully lived with gays. We have lived and let them live. Since childhood, I have seen gay men around working at schools, hospitals ... etc. They have music bands that still play at our weddings and I love their songs. But politicizing this issue and bringing it out and blowing it is only going to make things worst for the LGBT community.

In all those western countries where LGBT recently obtained historical legal rights, in those countries also exists a large minority that is daily and rapidly growing hate against LGBT. They will explode one day. So, isn't it better for LGBT to quietly enjoy their life style instead of politicizing it and losing it all?

One could rightly ask:

"Why not? What ‘wrong’ would a gay person be doing? What kind of a threat would they be? The gay community is trying to live peacefully without the threat of being beaten or stoned!"

To answer such a valid and human question, we all have to wait and experience the result of the on going western experiment. At the moment, there is no credible answer to the question. At this moment, those pro LGBT would assume only good consequences coming out of the recent freedom offered to the LGBT community in the west. On the other hand, those who are against LGBT will only assume bad consequences. Both parties can only "assume" what could be the pros and cons of the recent LGBT rights offered in the west.

We have to wait and see the long term social, economical, financial and health impacts of this recent western experiment. We have to wait for decades to collect reliable data that could help us answer such a valid question. Until then, we shouldn't demonize those who are against LGBT rights. We simply don't have enough evidence to support such demonetization. The western  experiment has just started.

What if the old religious scriptures that show no tolerance towards LGBT had done so after they witnessed and experienced the cons of LGBT majority community?

There is not enough credible evidence to force every nation to join the western LGBT experiment. Even within west, there are many who are still against it. Perhaps, after decades of experience gained from the recent on going experiment, west may be in a better position to convince others (within and abroad) to offer same rights. But until then, LGBT community may silently continue their lives instead of clashing with the majority.

I am glad that west has overcome its inhuman history and shown an exemplary (not perfect) performance in human rights over the past 100 years. Indeed, west has taken the lead in accepting "others". I support it and hope that it continues to improve and lighten our paths. But, that doesn't mean we should blindly copy west. History has proven that such an approach would be irresponsible of us.

Correct?
