The Piano Man

They finally found out the real identity of the piano man. I feel sad for this guy. I feel even sad that subtle discrimination still occurs. Against sexuality.

When 'The Piano Man' was found on the beach with his 3 piece, people wondered if he was a Czech concert pianist, Norwegian student, etc etc. They thought his ability to play the piano was remarkable, although he was mute and seem a little mentality unsound.
So, this is the scenario:

Previously:
Men found on beach-taken to hospital-only played piano-amazingly well-did not speak for 19 weeks-international search
Media’s attitude: AMAZED

Now:
After 19 weeks:

Nurse: So, are you ready to talk?
Piano man: Yeah, I guess so (Surprise! Surprise!)

Turns out,
Piano man is a GAY German national who actually attempted suicide.

Media’s attitude: Appalled, as told by news:
“Hoax/Fraud: Piano man is GAY, and attempted suicide. …Hospital reports that piano man did NOT really play beautiful music, he just sat by the piano tapping the keys

Excuse me, but is this not RIDICULOUS? First, you applaud his amazing talent, later you say that he was just ‘tapping’ on the piano. Seriously, I do not think this guy wanted all that attention, you know. You (media) created propaganda, now just made him look like a fool.

My guess is: Utter DISCRIMINATION.

My other guess: That this guy will try to kill himself again.

Good news is: Piano man finally spoke, is on his way to Germany and is safe (for now)-Thank God he is not Malaysian.

yeah, ain't that stupid? Jeez!all this moving-the-goal-posts-around business.
it's almost like the brazilian who got shot in stockwell tube,London. Now they're starting to spread their way of thinking; that in brazil the innocent ppl who got shot by police don't even get any attention from justice so it's not fair to pay the so-calledly same case here in London. It's not the bloody point!! the point is they shot an innocent man, who's probably on his way to work or meet friends. does it matter what national he is? it's amazing how they advertise double standards in the media.if it makes anyone looks bad, it's themselves.

Are we on the homosexual agenda again? :) Seriously, though, I despise discrimination of any form against any kind of people. Although, as I've often mentioned, I do not and cannot agree with homosexuality, I recognise that they too have rights as the rest of us. However, don't forget REVERSE discrimination, in which homosexuality is glorified and monogamous heterosexuality is scorned, as portrayed in popular movies and songs.

Keena;
Yes , I feel it's really stupid of them. I read your blog regarding this issue. It is sad. Very sad. I can only hope that the family will forgive them and move on.

Adeline,
It's mere assumption that homosexuality is 'glorified' and scorns heterosexuality. Homosexuality is not a habit that people can just 'pick up'. So, even if it is glorified, as you wrongfully claim, I feel that people would not suddenly turn gay and disrespect the very nature of the santity of heterosexual marriage and life.
