yesterday night, i watched "Iron Ladies" on tv. for people who have not heard of that show, it is a thai movie adapted from a real life story. It talks about how this volleyball team is made up of drag queens and how they defeated the "real" men and emerged victorious. well, indeed, "iron ladies" is a comedy, but it did try to convey us some kind of message. while watching the show, it's saddening to see how the men made fun and laughed at the drag queens and how the drag queens overcome it.. either by laughing off the matter, get into fights or cry.
I'm not homophobic... i guess. i'm pretty fine with gays, lesbians, transexuals, what have you. I don't find them very much different from man or women, homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual. we are almost all the same. just that they have this extra X or Y chromosome in their 23rd (is it? i forgot my bio). So, you can't blame, or even look down on them as they were born with it. it's just the same being a cripple, a mute, a blind.. ok, maybe it is even more tragic since this defect has something to do with your genes and not just your physical appearance. There's this song in "iron ladies" that set me thinking. although it was sung in a very comedian, relaxed manner, I think the lyrics are far from being casual. it talks about how drag queens have feeling, and if one is willing to open up their hearts and accept them, one will realize they are not much different from us.
