The Indian attitude towards "gay life" is to deny there is any such
thing. Sort of a society-wide "don't ask don't tell" policy. Then
again, public displays of all kinds of sexual affection are generally
not socially appropriate in India.

There is an interesting open question about how much of this
prudishness is a colonial legacy imported from Victorian England and
how much of it is historically Indian. Afterall India is the land of
the Kamasutra..

I am afraid, I am just not very knowledgeable about the subject.
