Social Stigma

This afternoon, this Indian movie 'Honeymoon Travel's Pvt. Ltd. The movie is about six couples who have taken this tour bus to Goa (a sea beach in India). It shows the different kinds of relationships between the different couples! this shows that human personality also plays a big role in developing a relationship! But today I am not going to talk about relationships but how social norms and social stigmas which affect them aversly.

There were two couples in the six who started having problems in their relationship since the first day itself. And this was because both the guys in the relationship were gays! Infact, one was attracted to other! This created alot of heated arguments in the two sets of couple!

However, neither of the guys could come out in open and tell their spouses what the reality was. This was because of the fact that being gays was and still is considered a social stigma. This created a big communication gap between the respective husbands and wives. Their relationship suffered as neither side understood what was wrong in the relationship!

My question is... Is social stigma present in the society to make lives better or to make it harder for any one related to the case. This condemn towards people who are not similar to us creates not only a big communication gap in any relationship, it actually becomes such a big factor that the relationship itself becomes a question! I guess social stigmas are needed for people to conform to the cocietal norms but we shouldnt make it such a big deal that by thinking too much about it, it becomes our loss in the end!
