They do have emotions,centiments,love and everything that we have,but they have no good response from our side.I have seen them facing so much of barriers from the society,they were getting treated in a very worst manner.Their status must be changed,they should get equal priority like others.what we must do for that?

Friend,
Eunuchs too are human like us and nobody discriminates them .They form themselves like a separate group and dress in a peculiar manner and behave in a peculiar manner, not like common men.Nobody imposed the like that.They do it their own way.They have association.They have their separate deity.So in this way they themselves keep separate themselves from common men.Who is responsible.No one says that they are not human and they do not have emotions.They are in the way they are living as they chose it.
So I do not think anybody is disrespecting or degrading them.I too agree that doing so is wrong.They too are created by Lord and are equal with all other.But if they want themselves keep a separate identity ,it is their will and none interferes with it.
But THEY TOO ARE HUMAN AND SHALL NOT BE LOOKED DOWN UPON.

Among the earliest records of human religion are accounts of castration as an act of devotion, and sacred eunuchs are found in spiritual roles. Archaeological finds at Çatalhöyük, a large Neolithic town of southern Anatolia, suggest that such practises were common in the worship of the goddess Cybele in 7500 BC. The Galli, later Roman followers of Cybele, also practiced ritual self-castration, known as sanguinaria. The practice continued throughout Christian times, with many of the early church castrating themselves as an act of devotion.[6]

A famous example is the early theologian Origen, who found scriptural justification in the Matthew 19:12. In this passage, Jesus stated: "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be selves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." (King James Version)

Tertullian, a 2nd century Church Father, described Jesus himself and Paul of Tarsus as spadones, which is translated as "eunuchs" in some contexts.[7] However, these statements can be interpreted as a metaphor for celibacy, especially given the broad meaning of the term spado in Late Antiquity (see Non-castrated eunuchs below).

Eunuch priests have served various goddesses from India for many centuries. Similar phenomena are exemplified by some modern Indian communities of the hijra type, which are associated with a deity and with certain rituals and festivals - notably the devotees of Yellammadevi, or jogappas, who are not castrated[8] and the Ali of southern India, of whom at least some are.[9]

The 18th-century Russian Skoptzy (скопцы) sect was an example of a castration cult, where its members regarded castration as a way of renouncing the sins of the flesh. Several members of the 20th century Heaven's Gate cult were found to have been castrated, apparently voluntarily and for the same reasons.

May this be an encouragement to the eunuchs...If you follow God's commandments, you have a great reward...
Isa 56:1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Isa 56:2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Isa 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Isa 56:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
Isa 56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Isa 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
Isa 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
Yahshua also spoke about the eunuchs...
Mat 19:11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
Mat 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

see what i believe is that all are creation of god. if god doesnot discriminate how can we discriminate. mother nature doesnot distinguish b/w eunuchs and common people.when same air,sun,moon,stars are available to them. incase human being treat them differently they have full right to go to court as all of us have right to equality. if an eligible candidate who is eununch doesnot get job can go to court and complain regarding it. first of all they need to help themself by changing there way of living, there persnality. what god has given cannot be changed but they can change their walking, talking style and thats it.

there is something they don't have that actually seperates them from common people ,which ofcourse doesn't mean not to respect them as people.
