Emang bukan cuman Urganda doang yang ngelarang. Cuman, untuk hukuman di bakar hidup-hidup gitu menurut gue sih overrated.
Oke, lepas dari segala hukuman, negara yang ngelarang, dan lain sebagainya. Gue selalu mikir dan nanya; Kenapa sih, pemerintah—di banyak negara—terlalu mencampuri urusan suatu individu? Maksud gue, untuk urusan seseorang mau beragama atau atheist, homo atau straight, dan lainnya itu bukannya hak semua orang, ya? Kalau prinsip gue, ya selama orang itu nggak ngerugiin atau ngeganggu suatu individu atau kelompok lain, kenapa enggak di biarin aja? Karena nggak selamanya urusan orang lain itu urusan kita juga, yes?
Dulu gue pas kecil pernah nanya, "Mah, kenapa sih pak polisi nyuruh kita pake helm? Kalau kita celaka juga kan yang sakit kita, bukan pak polisi." Dan mamah ngejawab... ah sudahlah, ingatan saya tak terlalu kuat, bung :))
Setelah gue beranjak remaja, ya lama-lama sadar juga sih, pake helm itu bukan karena aturan-aturannya amat, tapi it's for our safety's sake. Gitu.
Dari pertanyaan gue pas kecil sama pertanyaan gue yang pas awal, intinya sih sama: Ya biarin aja gitu. Hidup juga hidup orang. Kalau dia 'celaka'—atau mungkin disini konteksnya lebih ke 'resiko'—ya urusan dia. Karena akibat dari keputusan dia. Selama nggak ada sangkut pautnya sama kita, kenapa kita yang repot? Repot? Tinggalin. :))
Anywaaay... Speaking of homosexuality, gay-ship, lesbian, etc... Gue jadi inget lagunya Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Mary Lambert yang judulnya Same Love. Dengerin nih coba:
Yang ada di winamp gue sih yang—as always :))—versi featuring Ed Sheerannyaaa. Nih kalau mau denger juga:
Dan ini versi livenya yang udah gue buffer selama 454753154584 kali. Enggak, bukan karena di live perform itu ada Ednya juga, sih. Cuman gue, beneran, captivated sama gerakannya si Macklemore. Semacam pas gitu sama intonasi musik dan liriknya :)) dan bikin ingin ikutan joget jugak! :)) Cek nih cek:
Kalau suatu saat video di atas ngilang, ini linknya, ya. ☺
Kenapa gue korelasiin lagu Same Love sama kejadian di atas? Ya langsung aja ya, nih liriknya:
When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay,
'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight.
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She's like "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k, trippin' "
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league"
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing God, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And God loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily
We become so numb to what we're saying
A culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same, but that's not important
No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it
(I don't know)
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
I can't change
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
We press play, don't press pause
Progress, march on
With the veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever God you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is patient
Love is kind
(not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient
(not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind
(I'm not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient
(not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind
(I'm not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient
(not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind
(I'm not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient
Love is kind
Dari yang gue bold juga udah paham kan maksudnya? Dari semua lirik di atas, yang palingpalingpaling gue suka sih yang "It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference, live on! And be yourself."
Well, I'm straight, just in case you wonder. It just that I'm as sick as Macklemore upon people who see something from only a side. A perspective.
Lo ngehina gay, ngehina pelacur, ngehina apapun yang menurut lo hina... Pernah gak sih lo nanya ke mereka, motif dibalik apa yang mereka lakuin? Kalau lo terlalu gengsi buat nanya, coba lo dengerin lagunya Cage the Elephant, judulnya Ain't No Rest for the Wicked.
Selain dari cage the elephant di atas, coba deh baca ini:
Dan hubungan dari lagunya Cage the Elephant sama notes hacker itu menurut gue intinya sama: Jangan nilai sesuatu karena title jelek yang dikasih sama publik. Cause everything is never as it seems. Belum tentu cara pikir lo itu lebih baik daripada mereka.
So shut it, people! Live on your life. And bring peace to the world. Cause everyone have their own rights for loving. And to be loved. Tanpa peduli dari atau untuk siapa.
Assalamu'alaikum,
dkd.
Oh wait! Btw, nih, ada bonus.
If you have all those things in one person, you're really in love with him or her. Otherwise, it was all just a crushionship, I think. :p
