g_b Madhu Kinnar--openly trans woman has made history in India

2015-01-06 Thread Richard A Ammon mic...@yahoo.com [gay_bombay]
Good news from India As the world turns, for better and worse, today's news is 
for the better.
 A openly trans man-to-woman has made history in India (and the world?) by 
being elected mayor of the city of Raigarh in east-central, India (population 
150,000). Before independence in 1948 Raigarh was capital of Princely State of 
Raigarh. Today the 'royals' seem to have faded away and the palace is in 
disrepair. The new 'queen' mayor, Madhu Kinnar, wants to restore it as an 
historical museum.
 How things change!!! (sic transit gloria mundi)

g_b servants and sexuality

2015-01-06 Thread Vikram D vg...@yahoo.co.uk [gay_bombay]
This very well written piece brings up a subject that matters to most 
middle-class Indians - the servants who are the ubiquitous, if often 
un-acknowledged parts of our lives:
http://www.ndtv.com/article/blogs/a-hole-in-the-heart-of-my-family-641504
It reminded me of a piece I wrote some years back on how LGBT people deal with 
their servants. Of course, I'm not assuming all Indians employ servants - the 
piece specifically mentions some gay men who don't. But I sometimes feel that 
one of the definitions of being middle-class in India is if you can at least 
employ someone to come clean the house or make rotis, so servants and what they 
might make of our sexualities is one issue that does come up - and sometimes, 
rather surprisingly, can become an important issue.


Here's the piece. Have people on these lists had interesting experiences where 
their servants and their sexualities intersected?


Queer I – Coming Out to ServantsAlly Gator,Chennai, 22/3/2011 In Indianfamilies 
coming out as gay or lesbian is never like the pole vault, a singlejump out of 
the closet. It’s more a hurdle race: first siblings, then parents,aunts and 
uncles, the older generation, distant relatives asking marriagequestions, and 
then the final hurdle – the servants! It is startling howotherwise supportive 
parents can suddenly turn antsy when their kids come tostay with gay or lesbian 
partners, and don’t want them to share rooms “becausewhat would the servants 
think?!” To be fair,many gay men also have this problem, as a friend of mine 
discovered. He onlydates much older men, a genuine attraction, but also one 
with practicalbenefits since such older men usually tend to stay on their own, 
so it’s not aproblem finding a place to have sex. Except that these men 
sometimes haveanother hang-up – they require my friend to sneak in home, or to 
get up earlyand leave because, again, they have long time servants “and what 
would theythink if they found you here?” Since theopinions of servants 
otherwise rarely seem to count for much, this unexpectedconcern might indicate 
a deeper discomfort, perhaps heightened by classbarriers. People might be ready 
to deal with judgments from peers, but not fromthose they don’t put on the same 
level. Whatever the reason, this is oneproblem that gays and lesbians in the 
West rarely face. Even when families haveservants there, they are rarely of the 
long-term, live-in kind here, whereservants become like family – but not quite. 
And that gap is where theawkwardness lies.  The stockimage for this is 
Kantaben, the elderly maid of Saif Ali Khan’s character in Kal Ho Na Ho, who 
reacted with suchshock to what she thought was his gay relationship with 
Shahrukh Khan’scharacter that she’s become a by-word for conservative Indians 
who can’t handlehomosexuality. R.Raj Rao, in a poem called ‘Opinion’, which 
Riyad Wadia madeinto one of the short films in his pioneering BomGAY, wrote of 
“Shantabai/ who comes once a day/ to wash yourundies...she thinks/ a man 
without wife and kids/ is cremated by the BombayMunicipal/ Corporation/ upon 
death... You wonder whether she’s making a pass.”  Thisunderlines the 
uncomfortable nature of the employer-servant relationship withboth sides 
needing each other, but also resentful of this need. The employerfears being 
taken advantage of, especially since servants have access to theirpersonal 
domain. What if the maid, while cleaning, finds the porn stash at theback of my 
cupboard? What if she sees me in bed with my boyfriend, and tellsthe neighbours 
or, worse, blackmails me? I know several gay men who refuse toemploy servants, 
preferring the tedium of doing all the household choresthemselves, rather than 
risk giving an outsider such access.  But what areservants likely to feel? The 
chances are that most are more concerned with youbeing a generous and easy 
employer, rather than who you sleep with. And heregays and lesbians do have the 
chance to form a different sort of relationship.Since most don’t have children 
they have that extra disposable income withwhich to pay better (and also, 
without families, they need less work). One ofmy gay friends has decided to 
invest in the servants that he knows he will dependon more and more as he grows 
older – sponsoring the education of the childrenof his driver, helping his maid 
buy a house and so on.  Another groupof lesbian friends has a common maid who 
has over time become a key support forthem all. She asks about their 
girlfriends, cooks good food to comfort themwhen they break-up and keeps going 
to their different houses as they change,and now they in turn have helped her 
buy her own house. She may never deliver aspeech in support of their lives as 
lesbians, but has done as much simply byhelping them lead such lives. I have no 
idea what my own bai thinks of my life(she likes my boyfriend since he speaks 
Marathi to her), but her constant,quiet cleaning of my flat hugely helps me 
with living it.  And

g_b Happy New Year

2015-01-06 Thread dunn...@yahoo.com [gay_bombay]
Quoting from the New Year's Eve movie: And as you all can see, the ball has 
stopped half way to its perch. It's suspended there to remind us before we pop 
the champagne and celebrate the new year, to stop, and reflect on the year that 
has gone by, to remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made 
and broken, the times we opened ourselves up to great adventures ... or closed 
ourselves down for fear of getting hurt, because that's what new year's all 
about, getting another chance, a chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, 
to give more, to love more, and to stop worrying about what if ... and start 
embracing what will be. So when that ball drops at midnight, and it will drop, 
let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other, and not just 
tonight but all year long.

Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year with great health and love!
