Support for Gay pride
As Suggested in the previous blog, I might write something controversial, well for Yuzhou it is not controversial, but in case if selective fanbase reads it by chance that it is a little controversial.
Being Gay is not wrong or right, it is not under our control too, so we need to remove this dogma imposed from society and we need to understand that genuinely being gay is not a mental disorder, BUT, I won't also deny the fact sometimes it is also self-induced.
I will get to the self-induced portion right away before I start because I nowhere want to create misunderstanding and nowhere want to sound supportive of what China government believes.
SO, as I said, being gay is natural as well as self-induced, let's not talk about natural but let's discuss self-induced. Suppose you are in a place where you see everyone beautiful and you never even tried to put powder on your face what would you do???
Logically, you will try to act like others, you might try to put powder just to look like others wouldn't you?? just to blend yourself in you will make a choice that might not even match up to your taste, you would still risk? right?? This is what happens to be gay or lesbian of self-induced kinds.
Being in the fashion industry many just try to act or behave like them(because many famous people are either gay or lesbian or bisexual) to be part of the industry. I know it because a very close friend of mine when was studying for fashion, said, he had to sleep with his boss even when he felt like he might puke, he still maintained a relationship with his designer boss, just to be part of that culture and just to blend in or maybe to establish himself into that industry. Though he did something which he felt would make him be known in the industry, yet, This kind of people are the worst self-induced gay who doesn't even know what is wrong or right? Being Gay is not for fun, some don't have a choice and some don't even want to live because they feel its sin being gay or lesbian. It is not rare to see many suicide cases that took place in the past and yet take place, because the child felt or feels he/she was/is different and all the bullying made them take the life or still make them take the life.
(Everyone must have read about Aaron Yan coming out recently, but, many must not have read the hardship that he suffered during the childhood. His parent forced him to stay normal and also Aaron was beaten up many times because he was gay and since childhood, he knew he was. His father also tried to commit suicide because for him his son was not ready to listen to act and be normal. Just imagine how much pressure he suffered day in an out and how much pretense he must have shown..No wonder why he chose a dating app to date those men.
There was one incidence where he appeared in an interview with a bandage on his wrist, though, then he said he met with an accident, but recently he opened up and talked about that he fought with his parent that day and he smashed his hand on the wall and that was how he injured. If being normal was in his hand, why wouldn't he hear his parent? He was gay since childhood, yet he was forced to act normal.)
So when people just pretend to be gay just to blend in the work culture, it is Bad, in fact very bad. They not just mock these sensitive people but also makes them vulnerable to many haphazard which also includes or rather say force those people to commit suicide when they can't take the pressure from the world... I won't go deep into this topic, because I have to talk about Yuzhou, but before I begin, I have to explain something and I have to put forward few facts about symbols they use, and why do I believe they support Gay pride and maybe in many other coming blogs will show why I believe them to be Gay too???
Now, comes the other type of self-induced Gay/ lesbian. This types of people often become Gay or lesbian, based on the trauma suffered. I am nowhere saying anything, but I am just stating something which was said by the doctors,I also suffered the same, but later I realized it was just for time being when I felt I was homosexual, based on my heart ache episode but later when my depression healed, I was fine like I was before..
"Sometime when you suffer a severe trauma or a heartache, you tend to lose faith in the opposite gender. and when you do, you start feeling that it never worked, only because your preferences were different." This type of gay/ lesbians doesn't often last long. Once they meet someone better, they might straighten Up or if they don't meet anyone good, they might continue to be gay/lesbian on the beliefs. This type of induced condition comes under depression and if treated well or if supported by family and friends, they often get better and accept their true identity and don't remain confused, but there is one more thing this self-induced can also let people identify their true originality too(though it is rare of the rarest, because all the other self-identified gay/lesbian get normal once treated).
I know my statement made a little confusion, let me put it with an example.
Suppose, I had several relationships in the past and none of that worked. I never realized what was wrong, yet I kept trying falling in and out of love with the opposite gender.
Now finally, I suffered a heartache, and finally, I realized, I hate the opposite gender. Now I feel that I am homosexual, and that is when I try and approach or accept someone from the same gender.
I met someone and that was the first time I felt connected like I never did before...
If it was based on depression altogether, I might get fine and meet someone opposite to my gender and get back to normal, but in a few cases where I am rare case, I will be able to truly identify my preference and that self-induced/self-identified state will let me know the true originality that I was never aware since long and was living a lie for long without knowing I was living lie.
(I feel Guhai suffered the same to identify his originality)
Why did I talk about these things? Must be in your mind. But these things have to do with them, this has a huge impact in their lives because Based on the same observation even today Chinese govt takes that being gay is always self-induced, it can never and will never be natural.
They even go to an extent to blame westerners for bringing this mental disorder into their country.
So, in general, I find very low possibility for the Chinese government to accept it as natural unless someone near and dear one suffers the same... Maybe then they might amend the statement and start treating as natural too. For now less possibility.
So when you have a government of such mentality, showing Gay support or coming out, might sound like inviting death sentence isn't it??? But that does not even mean they can't support with the way the Govt is not aware of.
They already supported through the BL series, and for which those poor souls have to suffer ban from their govt.
But this did not stop them.
it made them more determined to show their love through symbolism, and their support for gay pride through various means.
I won't talk about Rainbow pics, or hand gestures because everyone knows that, but, I will talk about other things that many might not be aware.
Let us, for example, see Guhai and Yin who have been supporting Gay pride with different mean that is not much common yet it is not so different.
let us begin with few Pics and then get to the details of the picture supporting Gay pride and how.
Ok, get it, many will still argue, this could be one of those from modeling so why to take seriously ??? No worries,
let me add a couple of more pictures to this...


How about these pics??? If you clearly see the print on this slippers are rainbow coming out of spaceship which is the creation from Keith Haring who was a gay activist and all his works are adapted by many fashion brands to show their support for Gay pride...next is rainbow color itself.[time to time people from Hollywood, have used these color and sign to support]
Ok, this also does not make you believe if he does support or not??
Hmm... let me show you another then, maybe with that pic, you will believe a little if not completely that Yin and Hai do support for Gay pride...








[credit to all the original owners of the picture]
If you have seen all the pic, let us get to everyone picture one by one now.
1)Yin wearing Keith Haring logo you can see Keith Haring wearing that himself in the picture number 9.
2) a ribbon on the coat, it was not pink ribbon to be precise it was white ribbon and to those who are not much aware of LGBT signs and signals and their official signs, then I take the pride to tell them something little interesting. A white and offwhite ribbon is used for as Gay-Teen Suicide Awareness Ribbon, I did not make-up anything you are free to explore and learn the meaning of all the ribbon code in LGBT group.
3) it is direct symbolic to LGBT where a flying saucer shows emitting rainbow, though it has 2 interpretation i) LGBT people are considered to be aliens among the normal gentry and they have been sucked up by the rainbow to take them to a different land, and ii) those are the higher being who has come to live with earthling after flying into that saucer that emits rainbow. Whatever it is, it is for sure the support to LGBT.
4)I don't need to state much about this pic, it is from coach collection and recently coach has been open heartedly supporting for LGBT through the Keith Haring art that has been adopted in their collection.
to refer Keith art and graffiti please refer google or for glimpse see pic number 9. You will get the vague idea that this print is not just a print but has a way deeper meaning than we understand.
5) For many, this must have appeared as stupid thing right? No, you are wrong, butterfly and anchor is not just a simple picture, I don't have other pictures but Yin has been pictured several times with Butterfly and anchor together, and it has a meaning. Butterfly means rebirth and anchors mean stability, peace, strength, determination, and passion, it can also be referred and thought to be of as 'holding one steadfast', like an anchor holding a great sailing ship safe in harbor, against winds and currents that might carry it astray. together they mean as someone has taken a new life form and believes to stand firmly on the decision. Let me leave on the reader to take it the way they want to, to take the way I wanted to, or to take as you want...
6) it is direct support that he could have ever done by wearing a gay man's picture on his tee shirt... it is Keith Haring.
7&8) This was a way too funny, but I had to include, and you can't deny with the fact after reading that and also you are free to look for the authenticity of the sign through internet exploring official sign and signals for LGBT.
Yin has been holding Bear, in both the pic, though this bear thing has also symbolic significance in Yin's life, for now, let us only talk about the official meaning of bear in LGBT and that is referred to a gay man with loads of hair.
Bear is for Hairy gay Man, do I need to explain more how and why it associate so directly to Him... hahaha.
9) Finally, let me talk something about Keith Haring now.
Keith Allen Haring gained popularity through painting in the subways. his graffiti attracted a lot of attention. his popular work includes the crack in the wack.
he was an activist for homosexuality, he was also an activist for the awareness of HIV and AIDS. though he himself succumbed due to AIDs, his organization has ever since been supporting for homosexuals and also for the awareness against HIV. His graffiti has been adopted by many fashion industries to show their support for Gay pride.
When the use of unicorn and rainbow became too obvious that they were supporting Gay pride, use of gay art became the medium and how they adapted it to show their support without making it too obvious to the world, also the graffiti was a fashion symbol. it not only makes the work more beautiful but also too artistic... so many designers who support for LGBT adapted this work which is also called as gay artwork, as their theme for fashion and also their logo in recent times.
^This was about how they support gay pride.
This is about how they let the world know that what the world chooses to believe is not the complete truth... there is much more than this, there is much more to their real identity which by any reason they can't reveal, they can't come out to the world accepting that they are Gay, yet they do keep showing signs that they could be gay and choosing to wear such thing is one of those signs.
Let us understand the severity of their situation and understand that even if they don't come out of their closet yet, at least not yet but this won't change the fact what they are.
Guhai is still trying to hide from the world, but Yin has been brave in every step. He comes out to the world and shows his real identity, yet I also do understand, he would not be able to state it to the world through his mouth or accept verbally. And this is fine because we can't force someone to come out just because we want. They live in a country that yet has to accept it as the natural cause rather than treat it a mental disease.
