: BANGKOK, Thailand (Reuter) January 24,1997 A furor has
: broken out in Thailand over a government ban on
: homosexuals becoming teachers. In my opinion, Banning
: homosexuals from becoming teachers is discriminatory
: and violates basic human rights. However, the radio
: commentator and Sentor Amnaj Sornhimsart in Thailand
: said that they should have some measures to prevent
: youngsters from copying their acts. I believe that
: people should have their rights to choose their life
: style and this is their personality. I think it is not
: useful to aimed at banning people with improper
: personalities from becoming models for youngsters. If
: the lesbian activists could affect the youngsters, then
: I think the government has to ban all of the lesbian
: activists around the world, not only ban on homosexuals
: becoming teachers. Homosexuals is such as smoking
: people, they can become models for youngsters. They do
: know that the cigarette is harmful, but they have their
: choice to choose what they want. If the smoking people
: who becoming teacher, then is that mean we have to ban
: on them. I think if the homosexuals are not involved
: the sex with the students, then I don't think it is a
: useful to ban on the homosexuals becoming teachers.
We agree your opinion, bcause homesexual is also human being. We are all the same, I don't think there are any disavantages of homesexual to being a teacher. This is the human right, we can't break it. The homesexual people is very unlucky because they also don't want to be like that. Homesexual can be a nice person, too. We have to accept them. We should not have the racism to the homoseual people.
