Wild Orchids Play

I feel like flooding this blog with entries...muahahaha.

What shall I talk about?

Ou, I shall describe my experience helping out a theatre production in uni, that has lesbianism as the core theme.

I do not know what I am getting myself into when I decided to help them out as backstage. I auditioned for the cast, and was so desperate when they said they have found someone else, that I just agreed to help them out in another way.

I did not realise that they are so many lesbians in the crew until the performance nights, and a handful are lovers too, or have lovers outside the production crew. It somewhat distubs me. I mean, these women, despite the way they dress, wearing men's clothes and shirts, sporting short, spiky hairstyles, they are still actually women. I choose to still treat them as women, and friends.

They are nice people. Some are really nice and friendly. Some are really pretty as well. And I was like thinking, man, what a pity for the guys that such beautiful girls choose to commit to homosexuality? And to think that many guys reckon that it was hot for girls to make out with each other? I guess this is called perversion?...

There was alot of swearing thoughout also. The F words. And I must confess that it somewhat influence me to say some swearing, like the "s" word. Please forgive me Lord. And I was just quite dismayed, yet I enjoy their company also, for they are nice people.

Another thing I felt when I associate with them is that, somehow I get the feeling that they are relating to me as if they are relating to the opposite sex, which makes me feel weird, because I treat them as women friends. And when I look at the appearance of the person, sometimes it's hard also to relate to them as girls or as guys...It's interesting yet sad...

I am green in these issues. can we have a discussion about these controversial issues affecting the society? and where is our stand...and how should we, as children of God respond. I'm sure God loves lesbians, butches, homos, emos, etc... But how can we be the shining light amidst these darkness...

How about pornography? I cannot deny that there is some pornography in the play too. It's not flesh-baring, but there is a sex scene whereby the actor and actress are placed on top of one another, with a complimentary sound effect. And these are actully all around. No wonder God is weeping. Sex, which is a beautiful gift from God, has been marred and twisted to become crooked.
