Is it also a nuisance to be angry about LGBT discrimination?
I'm gay.
Recently, thanks to the fact that the existence of LGBT has become widely known, fun things have increased, but at the same time, terrible discrimination has also started to appear.
Well, discrimination has been around for a long time, but with the development of the internet, opportunities to see so-called hate speech have increased.
I was also only delighted with the implementation of the partner system, and I was only able to write a report on my participation in the rainbow event on my blog, and I was bombarded with heartless words from people I didn't even know.
Also, as exchanges with gays deepened, I heard a lot of stories of people who were having a hard time due to discrimination, and I was no longer able to think of it as someone else's affairs just because of the same sexual orientation as myself.
“Discrimination” is extremely unpleasant just to see others being discriminated against, but when you are discriminated against, it is hundreds of times more uncomfortable.
So at least I'm careful not to discriminate against other minorities or vulnerable people, and I respect myself, “Don't return hate to hate.”
But after all, inwardly, harawata boils over and over again.
Among people who do so-called hate, there are more than a few people who are amused by this in half as entertainment. this is a serious problem, but...
But “anger” is affliction, isn't it?
It is impossible for me to treat people who discriminate against me like a Bodhisattva.
This may also be the reason why I am attracted to Mr. Ofudo (although it is far from Mr. Ofudo's merciful anger).
So I have a question,
Even in Buddhism, should “if you get hit on the right cheek, turn your left cheek” against discrimination?
Or will non-violence, for example, resistance through speech etc. be forgiven?
Anger against discrimination is also an affliction, and must it be removed?
Thank you for your support.
