Another random browse on YouTube about gay and lesbian issue has blown my mind. It is amazing to see these Public Service Advertisement (PSA) are actually sponsored by such big company like ABC channel, and more of it, it goes out in national scale. Despite of being part of the marketing strategy of the ABC, this is a huge step for GLBT community in America. I believe that this will bring so many positive differences for the communities out there.
Now, how about communities in Indonesia? Do we really caged with the east-culture and tradition? Or we just haven't tried hard enough to do it the right way? The answer is in you. But I believe on one thing, that people create culture and tradition, not otherwise.
