Love Is Love

When the universe was created, man and woman were made. Both were complementary to each other, they completed it each other. A woman could bear a child but it was not possible without man. Similarly, man was made of more aggressive nature and needed women, with her calm nature, to support him. They are compatible in every way and that is why they were always paired together. But is this true even after billions of years ago? Does a man can be completed only by a women? Does a women can be completed only by a man?

Traditionally, a man was supposed to fall in love with a woman but do we get to control who we love? We do not control it, it controls us. We can’t make us fall in love, only love can do that. Love has no name, limit or preference.Love doesn’t see the gender before happening, it just happens. So why the love between a man and a man so different from the love between a woman and a man? We didn’t chose for that to happen, it is just how we are. Why is the love of a woman for another woman so criticised while the same for a man is celebrated? There is no difference in her love. She loves the same, her love is still the same innocent pure that it is for a man. She, just like any other girl, dreams of going on dates, holding hands and marrying but just a woman. She also have butterflies in her stomach when the girl she likes touches her or whispers sweet nothings in her ears. She also dreams of growing old with her. But in her heart she fears all her dreams will be a dream because her love is different from others because she loves a woman. She knows that one day she will be forced to marry any other guy and in the process two lives will be spoiled.

Why does the society get to decide who loves whom? Isn’t it supposed to be natural? Some people fall in love with their opposite gender while some fall in love with the same gender. Love is love whether it is between a man and a woman or a man and a man or a woman and woman or any other possible combination. We do not get to judge someone else’s love by comparing it with some stupid standard set billions of years ago. It is not a disease; it is love. They are not sick; they are just humans like the rest of us. It is not a sin to love someone else no matter that person’s gender. It is not destruction; it is actually freedom of love, freedom of being who I am without any shame. My sexual orientation doesn’t define me. Whether I am straight, gay, lesbian, transgender or of any other sexual orientation that doesn’t define who I am. My acts, my life only gets to define who I am. Let there be freedom, for love is just love.
