Living as a citizens in Sweden or in a more western democracy we frequently take our government for granted.

What we do think is that everyone has the same freedom, rights and opportunity just as us because the term “democracy” does involve everyone as a part of the society, whether what ethnicity, nationality, religion and sexuality you belong to.

Let’s face it, our societies are full of discrimination even though there are laws which protects us.

Naturally what separates a democracy form a dictatorship is that the one which should be put in prison is the person which discriminated or oppressed a minority, on conversely in a dictatorship like Saudi Arabia for instance being a homosexual would presumably be seemed as a serious committed crime.

On the other hand, there are exceptions like India where they now imprisons LGBT-individuals for going against the law, although they are being called world’s largest democracy.

Other tendencies may be nowadays Russia and Uganda.

In Russia LGBT people are being beaten up, persecuted and just having a ghastly existence, while the national police does nothing.

In Uganda, also a democracy, are even more relentless now to their gay minority due to a new anti- homosexual law, and the day after legislation the country’s tabloids published oppressed information as “200 most homosexuals in Uganda” and any homosexual acts will be punished by being put into jail.

In an interview by the American CNN Uganda’s president Musevini freshly announced “they are disgusting.

What sort of people are they?”: He also exclaimed that he recently had been informed of what a homosexual is and does, and also that he would accept homosexuality if there was any proof of their abnormality.

What we obviously notice is president’s lack of acknowledgment for LGBT-individuals.

This tendency have social scientists pointed out as the main reason to what we call racism.

As humans we naturally absorb informations from experience, media, society and parent and all this creates unique individual pictures/imaginations and also our personal view to look at something being normal.

Instead, before taking conclusion in haste pick up a book and read of what homosexuality really stands for or go and meet more people of that specific “group” and in the end you will find different individuals with completely other goals and attributes.
