Dear Join Pakistan
LETTER TO EDITOR
July 3rd, 2011
Gay Lesbian Ceremony
USembassy Islamabad reportedly held a “Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Pride Celebration” ceremony on June 26th 2011 to show Washington’s support and solidarity towards the GLBTs of Pakistan. Could there be anything more stupid than this for the USA to do in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, where such homosexuality is not only looked down upon with utmost scorn and contempt but also considered an awful sin? How many GLBTs would be in Pakistan? Not even Zero Zero One per cent. And for that miniscule number the USA took the risk of antagonising 99.99 percent people of Pakistan! Could the embassy not foresee the negative impact of such a function on the US-Pak relations which are already not very congenial? One simply fails to understand if the event was held out of sheer ignorance or by design – in any case both being highly unwise, undiplomatic and unwarranted.
