g_b File - E mail problems?

2011-07-01 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.

g_b File - Personal Advertisements

2011-07-01 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.

g_b File - Tired of too many mails?

2011-07-01 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

modera...@gaybombay.in

2011-07-01 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.

Another victim falls to Aditya's insensitivity and yes, I am particularly

sorry about talking about banning anyone, anyways i was on this site to convey

when aditya had written a long critisizing and mocking poem on how painful my 
life was without my boyfriend.
 
just want to say many guys come to this site, who are in state of joy, sorrow, 
suicidal and mental and confused too.. 

sharing a view always many atimes helps others to prevent from burning someone

gay_parade1_f.jpg

The furtive glances, the hidden smiles, the stolen kisses have often kept
the love at bay, making the relation clandestine, especially when it comes
to same sex love. Falling for the same sex, churn the similar butterfly
feeling in stomach and the dreamy eyes do hope for a utopian world. But, for
gays, it's never been a bed of roses.  Living in closet, throughout their
lives is a Herculean task, which not many can hold up to. 

But winds did change their course. With men holding hands and publicly
kissing each other to show their affection, a new wave hit the streets of
India, a few years back. The rainbow coloured flags, posters, masks and the
colorful headgears were thronging the streets, with gay people dancing and
rejoicing to the legalization of homosexuality in India. Once a crime under
Sec 377 of the IPC, homosexuality is now acceptable, post a lot of
persuasion from NGOs and filed petitions, giving the LGBT (Lesbian Gay
Bisexual Transgender) community all reasons to smile and celebrate.

Coming out of the closet, has given them not only sexual freedom but also
the freedom to support their cause and their peoples' choices and demands
openly. Two years down the line, since the passing of high court's judgment,
the community has come a long way.

With the legalization of homosexuality, the country saw its very first gay
salon, NYC, coming into broad daylight. We have been here for quiet some
time but with the High court order, we published in open and since then I
have seen a rise of 40 -45% in my clientele. We are also priced very
reasonably which also makes us very accessible, says Sameer Mehta, the
owner of the salon.

Well, the community doesn't stop at it. It has many supporters who are doing
every single bit to make LGBT community mingle with the straight ones
without raising eyebrows. Be it Shobhna Kumar's website, queer ink, the
first online queer bookstore or Azadbazaar.com, a shopping portal for queers
or freedom, a jewellery line launched for LGBT community by a Kolkata based
jewellery brand. 

The gays are leaving no stone unturned to make their presence felt in the
society. From colorful mugs to funky T-shirts to bands to key chains,
Azaadbazaar.com is here to stay and the concept is definitely a hit among
the community. I had already been in the business of making T-shirts and
accessories for the LGBT community since 2007, but in late 2008 we decided
to take the brand to a whole new level and the market has been quiet open
towards it with, Maa Da Ladla and Haan hoon toh being the hot selling
T-shirts, says Sabina, founder of the website. 

Marking its second anniversary, the town is again set to paint its streets
in multi-colour hues, rejoicing the existence of LGBT community.  And, the
gays are all set to parade with pride, celebrating themselves and their
sexuality, apparently demanding for same-sex marriage.  The Facebook page of
New Delhi Gay Pride Parade created by PinkVibgyor says, 'New York has done
it, now it's our turn to say yes to same-sex marriages!!!' So, taking a cue
from other countries, who have embraced the LGBT community and have given
them the permission to enter into wedlock, the supporters are now set to
take a leap forward and shout out their demand at the Gay Parade tomorrow at
Jantar Mantar. 

For decades, we have kept our desires and feelings under wraps. But, now
with the legalization of homosexuality in our country, we can fulfill the
dreams of living together and even marrying each other. With same sex
marriage made legal in many countries, we want the same law in our country
as well, says Raj (name changed). 

So, will this parade be able to stir the minds and hearts of lawmakers, is
still to be seen. But, the community has its fingers crossed and wants to
live their lives without any shame or regret.

g_b Delhi set to celebrate 2nd anniversary of decriminalisation of homosexuality

Delhi set to celebrate 2nd anniversary of decriminalisation of homosexuality


Published: Friday, Jul 1, 2011, 12:57 IST 
Place: New Delhi | Agency: PTI 


Two years since the Delhi high court decriminalised homosexuality there has
been no looking back for the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
community here, which is set to mark the second year of celebrations.

From harassment cases to pride parades and gay nights at high-end nightclubs
to queer film festivals, the community has moved on from joyous celebration
to the next step creating awareness, according to activists.

After the key event of decriminalisation the next step was to educate the
public, create awareness among the people. To ignore is to regress, says
Anjum Malhotra, a Delhi University student.

On July 2, 2009, the Delhi high court struck down provisions of Section 377
of the Indian Penal Code which criminalises gay sex among consenting adults,
saying it violated the fundamental rights guaranteed in the Constitution.

We plan to organise celebrations on July 2 near Jantar Mantar this year and
conduct the annual gay pride at India Gate later this year, says an
organiser.

The organiser adds, We will distribute pamphlets informing the public about
the significance of the day and urge them to join us to fight for our
rights.

After the court ruling, most nightclub owners say they are happy with this
change as it gives them a share of the pink money generated by organising
exclusive gay nights tailored for gay clientele.

We have gay nights on Tuesdays though we are not really going all out in
advertising them because we like to be hush about it, says the owner of a
famous club in Chanakyapuri.

Where earlier mention of terms like LGBT was very hush-hush with any
gathering of the community shrouded in secrecy and bashes being limited to
famhouses etc, post July 2, 2009 activists say there are more open events in
the city now.

Cultural centres like the India Habitat Centre and others have begun holding
regular gay-themed seminars, poetry readings, film festivals etc.

Committees like Delhi Queer Pride organise fundraisers and events in support
of the gay community.

Nigah, a non-funded queer collective that works on issues of gender and
sexuality has begun organising events every month with free entry.

The Nigah QueerFest last year, Delhi's annual celebration of queerness saw
huge support from queer and queer friendly people in Delhi, says an
activist.

A Delhi fortnightly city guide gives information about events happening in
the city with timings and venue information, from Sunday Socials to Open Mic
Nights for all.

Pink Pages, which claims to be India's first gay and lesbian magazine
features articles on gay rights, health, fashion, popular culture, cinema,
books along with events happening all over the country, with regular
contributors from Delhi.

In 2008, a gay parade was organised for the first time in the coordinating
with similar parades in Delhi, Bangalore, Pondicherry and Kolkata. In
subsequent years Chennai, Pune and Bangalore have also seen similar show of
support for the LGBT community.
