HOMOSEXUALITY AT US NATIONAL CATHEDERAL

Celebration of Homosexuality is taking place today inside National Cathederal in Washington. Ashes of self proclaimed homosexual , Matthew Sphepherd , is being buried there. Along side American greats inside the holy place. In 1998 at age 21 , Martin was lured out of a drinking bar in Wayome and murdered. By two boys about his age who feigned being homosexuals. He was driven out inside a car into a place , attacked savegely and chained to a fence and left to die in the cold. Parents of Matthew feared burying their son. To avoid desecration of his tomb. As anti homosexual Baptist elements in Wayome were bent on disturbing his burial. His body was cremated and ashes kept till today. Death of Spheperd precipitated national debate , controversy and encouraged fight for gay rights in America. What does today's ceremony mean to LGBT Community. And who and who are going to grace the event in Washington DC. Will Trump and his Republican Party benefit from the burial of the self proclaimed student homosexual. Democratic Party is seen as pro LGBT whilst Republcans are perceived to be anti homosexuality. Time will answer the questions very soon or later. Same sex marriage has been allowed in some states in America. The issue is very divisive and emotional. One wonders the reason for laying to rest ashes of Matthew inside the Cathederal. When Islam and Christianity are clearly against homosexuality. And see practitioners as lost and sinners. Who need repentance and help to move along the right path. There are secular elements who consider homosexuality as mental illness , dirty and very unhealthy.
