    GENETICS

    In accordance with Muhammad Nabil Azim bin Hazman, Faiz bin Mohd Akif, Syakila binti Muhd Ayub and Arisha binti Hadi, all of them do agree that they want to keep being in this community is because they believe that they were destined to be born that way and their feelings towards the same sex partner become stronger as they grow older. However, they also stated that they will repent to the right path when the right time is come. They also admitted that being an LGBT is indeed wrong in every religion and there is nothing to be proud of after all.

  • According to Faiz bin Mohd Akif, going to a same gender school makes it easy to get involved. He is attracted to boys because he was attracted to them in secondary school. Being gay in an all-boys school is common. Because most of his seniors are involved. He chose to be gay by choice. According to Muhammad Osman bin Mohammad Din, school friends influence a student's decision to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Even though he is not in an all-boys school, he explained that his boyfriend became gay after attending an all-boys school due to strong peer pressure. Syakila binti Mohd Ayub claims she became a lesbian in an all-girls school. They sent her to all-girls schools from kindergarten to high school. Then she only liked girls. She also admitted to falling for a senior in school when he tried to get close to her. According to Nur Layla binti Azman, she got involved in the LGBT community while attending an all-girls school. She is straight. But someone in her batch had feelings for her. She has repeatedly rejected the girl until one day she accepts her and they begin a relationship.


    Getting Dumped By Their Ex Boyfriend / Girlfriend

    Divorce can cause someone to turn to the LGBT community, says Arisha binti Hadi. Her exes dumped her 9 times, forcing her to date a girl of the same gender, someone to confide in and share her problems with. Her roommate's affection and constant support made her feel attracted to her, and she came out as bisexual. Our source, Muhammad Nabil Azim bin Hazman, also stated that being abandoned by a partner does not cause a person to change gender. He stated that he had been dumped by his lovely ex-girlfriend after a 7 year relationship. The girl left him for another guy, which made him sad and distrustful of girls. This has taught him not to fall in love with a girl. So he's a gay.

  • Arisha binti Hadi said she and her girlfriend were caught hugging and kissing after the fireworks on New Year's Day. Being an LGBT person in Malaysia is difficult for her. Her girlfriend's parents found out and disapproved. “God won't forgive you”, “you have committed a great sin”, etc. According to Syakila binti Muhd Ayub, being LGBT in our country is difficult. Her friends ignored her in high school because they knew she wasn't straight. As a result, she stated that coming out to people was difficult. Imagine having to tell everyone you know that you are straight, but that you are not straight yet and that who you are is not widely accepted because you are unsure of the outcome. He told her best friend about his feelings for the same gender, according to Faiz bin Muhd Akif. But then his best friend couldn't accept his sexuality and told other friends. Since then, he's been bullied and ignored by his peers, forcing him to transfer schools. After being betrayed by his best friend, he said he finds it difficult to trust anyone.


    Society Is Now Become More Concern

    Muhammad Nabil Azim bin Hazman, a gay man, never faced any discrimination. For him, it's fine if we (their community) don't cause trouble like marching in the streets for their rights. He admitted that he was afraid to tell anyone about his sexuality, but luckily, those who know him are not ‘judgmental' and accept him. LGBT people have been labelled as misfits and (expected to) be rehabilitated to conform to accepted social and religious norms, which is clearly wrong and against the law, according to Muhammad Osman bin Mohammad Din. The Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) has introduced a programme called “Mukhayyam” to help and guide this community on the right path, according to him. For this reason, he believes that even though Malaysia does not accept LGBT, some parties are concerned.
