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.

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 Regards modera...@gaybombay.in

g_b File - E mail problems?
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 anybodys 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
Hi All 2 personal advertisements seeking mates a month are allowed on the list. Its 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. In case you want to reply to a members personal advertisement, kindly click on the persons 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 Public Meeting Against Sec. 377 of Indian Penal Code
Dear Friends Comrades, You all know that the Supreme Court of India on 11th December, 2013 has reinstated Section 377 of Indian Penal Code by upholding its constitutional validity - setting aside the Delhi High Court order dated 2nd July, 2009 that read down the concerned section by restricting its use on consensual private sexual acts of adults. As a result citizen's right to privacy, their bodily integrity, to give consent, to enjoy sexual lives of their preferences - all are compromised with. Since Sec. 377 of IPC criminalises certain sexual acts, irrespective of people's sexual orientation and gender identity any and every citizen is adversely affected by this regressive judgment of the court. Moreover on basis of too common a misnomer that only people with non-conventional sexualities namely the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transpersons, Hijras, Queers, Intersexed persons practise penile non-vaginal penetrative sex, the stigma and discrimination existing in the society against these LGBTHQI people has been strengthened many fold by this judgment. They are experiencing increased violence in the hands of their homophobic fellow citizens and also apprehended wide spread harassment in the hands of the members of the law enforcement agencies. The judgment has also posed a great challenge to successful implementation of sexual health interventions and increased the chances of widespread sexually transmitted infections by forcing people and their sexual behaviours to go back under cover and restricting their access to condom and other life-saving services. As citizens it is our responsibility to sound our protests against this unfortunate judgment. We need to raise such protest that we can make the judges and the lawmakers know about our anger against this act of injustice committed by the Apex Court of the land. Amitie' Trust as a Community Based Organisation of, by and for people with non-conventional sexualities and/ or gender non-conformities has been a partner in the countrywide struggle against Sec. 377 of IPC. On the completion of the 2nd month after the Supreme Court judgment Amitie' Trust has decided to organise a public meeting at Rani Rashmoni Road, Kolkata on 11th February at 4:30 pm. We request all citizens and organisations that respect an individual's rights to privacy, freedom of self expression, health, consent and choice to join this meeting and strengthen the struggle against this judgment in particular and all kinds of sexual offences in general. Please attend the meeting and invite all your friends to do so. Thanking you, Yours sincerely Aparna Banerjee Managing Trustee Amitie' Trust Flat no. - G 5B 23, Daw's Temple Road P.O. Bally, Dist.

g_b LGBT Indians stare at a bleak future [1 Attachment]
*LGBT Indians stare at a bleak future* *With the Supreme Court refusing to review its December 2013 judgment on article 377, Indian Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender ( LGBT) face a sad and lonely road ahead says KETAN TANNA. * l It's when the chips are really down that the human spirit needs to hang on to that extra little bit of inner strength. It's when the mind and body are exhausted from fighting that one needs to tell self not to give up. It's when there is no road seemingly ahead that one must try and find out that may be, hidden somewhere in the bleak foggy mist, is a road that could offer some rest and some salvation. This is the feeling that is running through the mind of LGBT Indians on Tuesday when the Indian Supreme Court rejected the petition to review its judgment on Section 377. What is article 377? Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code or IPC criminalizes unnatural offences. It says that whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished. The maximum punishment is imprisonment for life. Since the terms carnal intercourse against the order of nature and unnatural offences were not defined in the IPC, courts have had to interpret the terms. Courts have ruled that the purpose of carnal intercourse is procreation and hence, any non- procreative act would be against the order of nature. They have also held that all forms of intercourse that are not penile- vaginal are not necessarily against the order of nature. The Indian Supreme Court on 28th January 2014 said that it will not review its controversial order that made gay sex criminal in India. Justice HL Dattu and Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya who heard the plea for the review petition in the private chambers refused to accept the Centre's plea for reviewing the earlier decision by Justice Singhvi and Justice Mukhopadhaya. The SC decision had re- criminalised ' unnatural' sex once again. Its earlier decision in December 11, 2013 had drawn sharp criticism internationally for failing to protect fundamental individual rights. United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay had said that criminalizing private, consensual same- sex sexual conduct violated the rights to privacy and to non- discrimination enshrined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which India has ratified. The Supreme Court decision in this case represents a significant step backwards for India and a blow for human rights, she said. In 2009, the Delhi High Court exempted gay sex between consenting adults from the ban imposed by Section 377. That verdict was the result of a case brought by the Naz Foundation, a sexual rights organization, which fought a legal battle for almost a decade. Different religious groups appealed against the Delhi High Court's decision in the Supreme Court, which ruled in their favour. The Supreme Court bench, headed by G. S. Singhvi on his last day before retirement, found the High Court had overstepped its authority and that the law passed by the British in 1860 does not violate the Constitution. The Supreme Court stated then that only the Parliament could change the law, by deleting Section 377 which is a British colonial- era statute of the Indian Penal Code which bans sex against the order of nature. This essentially means that all LGBT sex in India is unnatural and that all LGBT individuals when they have sex Indian are unapprehended felons or criminals. The Union Government and gay rights activists had appealed against the Supreme Court's December 2013 decision. But judges in their wisdom said that they saw no reason to interfere with the order. So what next? The Union government has two options: it can either file a curative petition in the Supreme Court, or it can try to amend the law in Parliament. A curative petition, the final appeal in the legal process, is heard by the Supreme Court's senior- most judges including the Chief Justice of the country. The curative petition has to be certified by a senior advocate and is then circulated to the three senior most judges and the judges who delivered the impugned judgment. After the curative petition is given to these judges, it will be heard only if majority of the judges decide that matter needs urgent hearing. Amending the law in Parliament will be moretough for the government. The main opposition party, the Bhartiya Janata Party or the BJP, has said it backs Article 377. There is every likelihood that the BJP may form the next government at the Centre and they bringing any Constitutional amendment in favor of decriminalizing gay sex ( read LGBT sex) or reading down Article 377 ) is as possible as the Pope saying LGBT orientation is natural and that he supports gay marriages. A direct impact of the December 2013 judgment making LGBT sex unnatural in India has been the reemergence of fear and a feeling of helplessness in a vast number of LGBT which prefer to remain in the shadows.
