g_b File - Personal Advertisements

2010-04-01 Thread gay_bombay

Hi All
 
2 personal advertisements seeking mates a month are allowed on the list. It’s 
unfair to others if you post your advertisement every few days. In the past, 
many have complained that they see too many personal advertisements on the 
list. So a restriction of 2 personal advertisements per month has been imposed. 
You may, if you wish, place your advertisement in the classified section at 
www.gaybombay.info as well.

In case you want to reply to a member’s personal advertisement, kindly click on 
the person’s email address. This will ensure that your reply goes to the 
concerned person and not to entire list which is what happens when you hit the 
reply button. So please reply directly to the advertiser and not to the whole 
group in case your reply is personal.
 
Regards

g_b File - E mail problems?

2010-04-01 Thread gay_bombay

Hi

Have you stopped getting emails from this group suddenly? It is highly unlikely 
that your name has been deleted from the list. We do not delete anybody’s 
membership until and unless the person repeatedly spams or sends 
pornographic/crude emails

 you might not be getting your mails is because  your email is on the bouncing 
list. Some members have trouble with bouncing e-mails: Messages that are sent 
out by the group cannot be delivered to their mailboxes and are sent back to 
Yahoo. This can happen for various reasons, for example, when their mailboxes 
are full, or their e-mail addresses have become obsolete, etc. Yahoo doesn't 
tolerate bouncing mails and will deactivate these persons' memberships. It 
will, however, send you a reactivation request. All you have to do is reply 
to that (once you've fixed the problem with your mailbox), and Yahoo will 
resume sending you the messages. We will also send out these requests daily.

Bounced Messages
If you subscribe to a Yahoo Groups discussion group under one of the e-mail 
options (normal or digest), Yahoo Groups will suspend sending mail to you 
after repeated attempts bounce back. To see your recent bounced messages, 
view your Yahoo Groups preferences at http://groups.yahoo.com/myprefs and 
click Bounce history for your e-mail address. For more information on 
bounced-message handling by Yahoo Groups, search Yahoo Groups help for the word 
bounce.

Why does it say my account is bouncing?
If group messages sent to your email address are returned to Yahoo! Groups as 
undeliverable (bouncing), your Yahoo! Groups account may be temporarily 
disabled. 
Messages can be returned for several reasons: 
•   Your mailbox may be full -- try deleting messages from your Inbox. 
•   Your ISP may have a backlog of email to process -- contact your ISP. 
•   Your ISP may be blocking email from Yahoo! Groups -- contact your ISP. 
In many cases, Yahoo! Groups can automatically reactivate your account once the 
delivery problem is solved. However, in some cases you will need to manually 
reactivate your account: 
1.  Visit your My Groups page. 
2.  Look for a bounce alert near the top of the page. 
3.  Click the Alert link to reactivate your account.

2010-04-01 Thread gay_bombay

Hi.


I am sure you are enjoying reading the thought provoking, at times 
funny, at times informative mails and also seeing the JPGs/pictures 
that members post on this list

However, at times you may get a lot of mail and it may flood your 
email box.

If you feel flustered and feel that there are too many emails, I'd 
like to remind you that you don't have to leave just to stop us from 
clogging your inbox. 

You have the option of

1) getting your mails in digest form (however you will not be able 
to see the pictures in this format)
Daily digest ... once or twice a day, you will receive an
email -- text only -- listing all new postings ... just click on the
messages link at the top of the digest to go to the web archive to 
see any
attachments.)



2) or you can view mails directly on the web... and choose the 
option ...
you can see what's new on the website and still keep a clear
mailbox. You will never receive mail from us if you do that. YOU 
choose
when to visit us ... and you can check out what you like and can 
skip over
what doesn't interest you.


3)no email option

I hope this helps. The commands for choosing the various modes are 
listed below.

Warm Regards

g_b File - Tired of too many mails?

2010-04-01 Thread gay_bombay

Tired of too many emails from this group?  

Hi All

I know that this group has been generating too many emails. Many 
subscribers are flustered at the number of mails. Some of you might 
be thinking of leaving the group because you do not like your mail 
box to be clogged with mails.

But just in case you do not know, you have the option of receiving 
all your emails in a digest mode or you can opt for no email mode. 


That way, you can see what's new on the website and still keep a 
clear mailbox. You will never receive mail from us if you do that. 
YOU choose when to visit us ... and you can check out what you like 
and can skip over what doesn't interest you.

(Or choose Daily digest ... once or twice a day, you will receive 
an email -- text only -- listing all new postings ... just click on 
the messages link at the top of the digest to go to the web 
archive to see any attachments.)

How ?

Depending on what you opt for, you can send mail to:

Digest Mode:- gay_bombay-dig...@yahoogroups.com

No Mail Mode:- gay_bombay-nom...@yahoogroups.com

g_b Re: [lgbt-india] urgent: criminal law amendment bill 2010

2010-04-01 Thread Aditya Bondyopadhyay
Dear all,
I read the suggested amendments.
I am in favour of the amendments. This is how I read it.

1] It is not gender neutral. It talks specifically of male on female sexual
assault. This is desirable and in line with the demands of many feminist
lobby.

2] It specifically creates a sexual assault crime against minors (both male
and female), a longstanding demand of both the LGBT community, the
chlid-rights campaigners, and many feminist organisations.

3] It retains 377, which in the light of the amendments above and the Delhi
High Court's read down interpretation, would continue to criminalise
non-consensual sex between males. Again desirable and needed.

Personally I see no reason to interfere with the suggested amendments as
they stand today.

Best regards to all,
Aditya Bondyopadhyay

 The panel has, however, steered clear of Section 377 that deals with
 “unnatural sex” and was invoked against homosexuals till the Delhi High
 Court came to their rescue.

 Home ministry spokesman Onkar Kedia said the draft had been made public
 to seek responses from civil society and state governments.

 the last date for sending suggestions is 15th. The only way that 'civil
 society's' suggestions can help is if a huge number of people make the
 suggestion that 377 should be amended..and that getting that huge number of
 people to endorse such an amendment, and that too, before 15th may (the last
 date) is going to be difficult. but is it still worth a try? and can we set
 a target (a nice, optimistic one), as to how many people we want, endorsing
 the suggestion? and more importantly, will it help at all? what's the
 minimum number we'll need for them to take it seriously?

Gay rights will affect India's ethos: Catholic guild

Agencies Posted online: Thursday , Apr 01, 2010 at 1212 hrs

Panaji : The Delhi High Court judgement decriminalising homosexuality is of
great concern and it would adversely affect the ethos in India since most of
our values are shaped and nurtured by customs and religion, association of
Catholic doctors in Goa has said. 

St Luke's Medical guild, an association affiliated to Catholic Church, has
said that the judgment would open the floodgates to a culture of self
indulgence and human destruction. 

The Court, on July 2, 2009, passed a ruling de-criminalising homosexual
intercourse between consenting adults and judged section 377 of the Indian
Penal Code (IPC) as conflicting with the fundamental rights guaranteed by
the Constitution of India. 

The guild, in the latest issue of their mouthpiece, 'HOPE' (Holiness
Obtained by Practising Ethics), has said, the unwarranted hype,
discussions, debates and distortion by media on homosexuality has put human
understanding into oblivion. 

The church hates homosexuality but loves homosexuals and invites them to
experience God's liberating grace and come to attain the wholeness and
holiness of life that every person is called to live, the guild said. 

HOPE has contributions by imminent medicos from Goa including Dr Silvano
Sapeco, Dr R G Wiseman Pinto, Dr F Couto, Dr S Rebello, Dr Aurea Mascarenhas
and others. 

Homosexuality is a sensitive issue and the church has been very sensitive
to the difficulties, hardships and problems faced by the homosexuals, the
magazine, in its chapter 'The Church and Homosexuality' reads. 

Very little is being known and much is needed to be revealed concerning the
conditions and orientation of homosexuals, it adds. 

The doctors have clarified that church does not label anyone as homosexual
and even condemns violent malice either in speech or action against them. 

To call someone homosexual is to refer to only one aspect of the person and
it is a sin against charity, the article reads.
