One of the dangerous politics of the GLBT is that they are supporting far right politics.In the name of ISLAMOPHOBIA,New right political parties of European countries are winning their agenda very easily.They are getting a googd support from glbt communitarian politics. In india,look at the position of GAY activist,Asok kavi who writes the pathetic conditions of working classes of Mumbai,but he is an out right anti-muslim.I can support his gay activism but not anti-muslim politics. in india,we also need such a critical coalition.
