DEAR ALL,
 
Yes even i have been seeking a life-partner since long, but its simply not 
happening.
Reasons are because most guys here are:
1. Looking for a house/room to stay in Mumbai and so won't mind staying with 
who-ever.
2. Seeking guys who are rich, so they can get their dreams of expensive gagets 
/ gifts fulfilled.
3. Not serious about relationship / companionship - in fact don't even know 
anything like that exists.
What they want is JUST sex, and that too regular. 
An ideal relationship can work ONLY when there is
Emotional
Mental
AND
Sexual compatibility.
The partners must understand and reciprocate, what true Love, Care and 
Compassion ARE.
Both MUST be financially independent, YET wanting someone to CARE and SHARE.

Just to set the records straight, although it doesn't justify this inhumane
act.


I'm Nigerian and understand the language this man is not being killed
because he was gay. This video has nothing to do with LGBT , he is being
burnt because he is an armed robber (a rapist and a murderer) not that it
justifies their actions. Just get your facts straight

  Laxmi's crush on Pooja Bedi ? Laxmi's ready to change her sexuality for
 Pooja Bedi ?
  *Actress Pooja Bedi,* who has been evicted from the *Bigg Boss* season 5
 house this weekend, has revealed that her housemate Laxmi Narayan Tripathi,
 who is a transgender, had developed a secret crush on her. Laxmi even
 wanted to change her sexuality for the Bollywood star.

 In an interview to the Times of India,* Pooja Bedi spoke about her close
 bonding with Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, who was physically attracted towards
 her. *
 *Interestingly, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, who is a transgender, was really
 close to me. She used to tell me that she was ready to change her
 sexuality for me, the TOI quotes Pooja as saying. *

 *Pooja Bedi added, In fact, she would touch me and hug me like a man.
 Her voice would change when she spoke to me and called me darling and it
 became rather macho. I think it was really cute and lots of fun. *
 *These bonds with Laxmi, Sky, Juhi and Sunny will remain forever!*

 However, Pooja Bedi had a nice time for eight weeks inside the *Bigg Boss
 5* house. Earlier, she said that there was 80% fun and only 20%
 negativity inside the house, but she was happy to be evicted as the
 negativity was building up more in recent days in the house. She added that
 it was right time for her to walk out of the house.

 *India's health minister has said homosexuality is a disease which is

 *Ghulam Nabi Azad also told a meeting that gay sex was unnatural.
 Activists said his comments were unfortunate.*

 *India's Supreme Court decriminalised gay sex in the country in a landmark

 *The ruling was widely welcomed by India's gay community, which said the
 order would help protect them from harassment and persecution.*

 *Mr Azad told a meeting on HIV/Aids in Delhi on Monday that gay sex which
 was found more in the developed world, has now unfortunately come to our
 country and there is a substantial number of such people in India.*

 *Even through it [homosexuality] is unnatural, it exists in our country
 and is now fast spreading, making it tough to detect it, he said.*

 *With relationships changing, men are having sex with men now. Though it
 is easy to find women sex workers and educate them on sex, it is a challenge
 to identify men having sex with men.*

 *Gay rights activists have criticised Mr Azad's comments.*

 *It's unfortunate, regrettable and totally unacceptable that a minister
 of his stature... is still insensitive to a vulnerable groups such as MSM
 [men who have sex with men], Hindustan Times newspaper quoted Anand Grover,
 United Nation's special rapporteur on health, as saying.*

 *According to one estimate, more than 8% of homosexual men in India were
 infected with HIV, compared to a less than 1% infection rate in the general
 population.*

 *The 2009 Supreme Court ruling overturned a 148-year-old colonial law

  I hv been keeping a relation with my Ex Bf for about 2 yrs. Helped him in
 financially for all his needs, such as Air Ticket, Mobiles, gold ring, Gold
 Chain, Hospital Exp, day to day expenses,Hard disk, Clothes, Jacket for
 interview etc as he was jobless  Sick.
 Only thing he was a lier throughout  still I accommodated. He was very
 adamant with his lies even though I exposed few times. Whenever I was in
 Mumbai he used to meet me 2 times a week , rest he used to give me all sort
 of excuses. But later I found-out he-used to go with others. Well I told him
 I wouldnt mind going wd others but tell me wd whom he goes. He used to swear
 upon his parents  Jesus Christ ( He is a Cristian boy) that since he
 started wd me never been wd any. It was a lie bcz I exposed his lie twice.
 He use to justify a lie with 1000 lies. Still i was very much accommodating
 to keep him happy. I knew he had lot of problems in his life. He was a hard
 core bottom been with many even foreigners before becoming friendly wd me.
 He was living wd his relatives they used to take care of his daily food.
 Rest I was supporting. He was very good looking like a foreigner. Even
 though 24 yrs look like a boy of 20. Tall  fair. He had fetish for under
 wears  used buy at least 4 every month. Waxing his legs  Chest n was proud
 of himself. When i'm away I used to send him 8-9000 rupees every month.
 When I was away he started working for a salary of 4000, as a trainee but
 used to up/down fr work by auto paying 80+80 every day, bcz of my
 remittance.so after 4 month i landed back on Saturday  waited for him near
 to his place to give a surprise but that evening he never turned up. I
 called his number not responded  called him nxt day he swear ed to me that
 he reached home by 8.30pm.
 I told him I wouldn't mind if he had n with any, bcz he is a needy guy but
 tell me the truth. He started shouting on phone . I tried to calm him down
 but he was just accusing me with all sort of nonsense stating he will go2
 police stating that I was using him and all.
 The nxt day he wanted to justify that he reached his place in 30 min, call
 me near his work place and both of us travelled on same rick but never
 reached in 30 mins but he still he was justifying. So i walked out from
 there without any comments.
 Then started all threatening  all as I stopped helping him
 financially.  Then he become very furious.
 He had faulted his net payment and even though the con was discon in feb
 the bill continued  accrued to Rs.8500/- b4 I left in Jan I paid the bill
 on 4Jan  gave him the Receipt which he say he misplaced N accused me I
 never paid bcz of that net discon.Now he says he has only one Tension that
 is reliance's pending bill, which he expecting to settle if I want to ease
 his tension, but nothing 2 do wd me anymore.
 I wanted to settle the bill, Made inquiry n called him, sms him for some
 details but he never replied or attended my calls.
 Since no more funding, he started to travel by bus, which would cost him
 only Rs24 up/down instead of Rs.160/-
 Most of the money I gave was through Bank Transfer  I hv all the copies.
 I want to help him but he is very adamant that he doesn't need my help, he
 is poor, as long he gets his food  accommodation from his relatives he is
 happy.
 I know well he wouldnt be happy without any luxuries. He says he has
 parents, but never lived wd his parents for the last 5 yrs. Last year he
 visited his home but returned after 5 days saying that his elder bro ( 2 yrs
 elder) kicked  beaten him for being there. I doubt wheter the so called
 parents are his own or he is adapted. He has a foreigner look but other
 sibling not. Bcz he had tld me that.
 In between he had visited Bangkok, he said his father arranged the ticket.
 For the trip I helped him ws USD 600/- apart from arranging Foreign Currency
 with his money. I dont know with whom he had gone, taken my Camera too but
 never shown me any pics or returned my camera. Always used to tell me later
 later but never came. I doubt he had gone wd some for a sex trip. During his
 trip he was never in touch wd me eventhough I had given him a Thai Sim. As
 long as he was getting my steady money he was very good with me. Now he
 doesnt even care to talk on the phone. I know his cousin also knows he is a
 gay. He has a sissy walk.
 I still feel pitty for him But he is very adamant  with an attitude
 problem.
 Today he is my sworn Enemy, always threaten wd police complint, hen ever I
 call ( Very seldom he attend) even though I know he has no base to make any
 complaint.
 I knew from the begining he wasn't honest  Sincere. He was after money
 only.
 One thing was good, he is a non smoker, non drinker with simple food
 habits. Never attend any gay public party. Dont kw whether he used to go4
 Pvt parties.

a one nighter because after i am married i don't think i will do this.. so
for all you haters don't worry I'm going to be loyal with my future wife...
as far as getting married i really have no choice... and NO my folks are not
forcing me either.. but they woul dbe happy if i did and i'm sure ill make
them happy and keep my future financially and emotionally happy... ofcourse
sexually too.. 'cos I'm not aversed to having sex with women.. my first time
was with a woman...
well so * have been with a guy..* but no sex was involved.. maybe just
kissing etc.. (without going into too many details) and it was once and it
was great and never went back..
so NOW i would like to do it by that i mean really KNOW what its like to be
with another BEFORE I am married which is most likely end of this year..
i'm sure i will like it because I think about it a lot and ofcourse there
is plenty of eye-candy online or off..
and ofcourse i'm not going to take some suggestions such as hire a gigolo
or don't be crazy  just wait for wedding nite.

g_b The Great Indian Mainstreaming Of Homosexuality

2011-04-24 Thread Crazy Sam

It seems that the media has now got a new-found courage to not to stick
to the usual perceptions and instead, they are now trying to bring out
the real stories behind the rainbow. CSB throws light on the media's
recent attempts to make homosexuality a mainstream subject.

Sent to you by Crazy Sam via Google Reader: The Great Indian
Mainstreaming Of Homosexuality via Crazy Sam's Bloginess : The Straight
- Friendly Gay Blog by Crazy Sam on 4/23/11

Often I have expressed my anger and frustration about how media was
being insensitive when dealing with topics surrounding homosexuality
and how we were always misrepresented. However, over the past few
months, I see that there has been a drastic change on what’s been
written about us. Thanks to the High Court rule decriminalizing gay
sex, it seems that the media has now got a new-found courage to not to
stick to the usual perceptions and instead, they are now trying to
bring out the real stories behind the rainbow. And the best part is
they are doing this with no qualms which in a sense I feel as if they
are shouting, screaming and discussing the topic like never before to
compensate all these years of misrepresentation.

In the month of February this year, for the Sunday magazine of
Hindustan Times newspaper – Brunch, the publication ran a cover story
titled ‘One Man’s Story’, about the famous stand-up comedian, Vidur
Kapur. The article very vividly narrated the troubled childhood and
confusion Vidhur had to go through and he couldn’t find any solace from
his family either. With every passing day, his self-esteemed dipped
making him slip into depression which provoked him to take his life.
Even though he didn’t succeed in the attempt, his sufferings didn’t end
with this. Soon he had to come out to his family and instead of getting
support, he was subjected to even more humiliation – the psychologist
they took him to even did chromosome tests on him, to check whether he
was a normal male! The doctors, his family and his friends – no one
understood him and he shut himself off from the outside world. This
moving account then talks about how Vidhur finally made peace with his
sexuality, how he tore down all the walls he had built around him, how
he found his love and in the end what led to his parents welcome their
“son in law”!

To download and read the PDF of the article, click here.

The struggles that Vidhur faced, is experienced by many of us. When I
was under depression because of failing to understand why I’m feeling
something which was unusual, my parents were not aware. Like many of
us, the path of accepting my sexuality was frustrating and tiring, to
say the least. And this is why ‘coming out’ is such a big event for us,
because it marks the end of a long struggle. This facet of us perhaps
was never openly talked about in the mainstream media, until now. And
this could be the beginning of the change in their attitudes –
sensitizing and enlightening the readers through personal accounts of
people like us.

When Delhi High Court decriminalized homosexuality in 2009, certain
political and religious groups challenged the verdict and brought the
matter in front of the Supreme Court. However, a touching development
took place following this. 19 parents of LGBT children from across the
country (along with a group of 16 academics and teachers, and a group
of 14 mental health professionals) came forward and submitted their
petition to counter this homophobic move. The group of parents is led
by Mrs. Minna Saran, the mother of late Nishit Saran.

Nishit was an aspiring film maker and in 1999, he filmed his coming out
to his mother. Mrs. Saran accepted her son for who he was. Sadly,
Nishit died in a tragic road accident three years later.

In February, The Indian Express daily carried a full-fledged cover
story in their Sunday supplement, Express Eye about these parents who
dared to openly support their children. The article’s headline
screamed, ‘My Son Is Gay, And I’m Proud Of Him’. A very moving piece,
it talks about how they felt when their children came out to them and
what they thought of the hogwash propagated by their (our) opposition.

You can read the online version of the Express Eye article by clicking
here and to watch Nishit's moving documentary of his coming
out, Summer In My Veins, click here to reach the post where I had
shared the video long ago.

Last Sunday, NDTV aired the show 'We The People' devoted to the
parents’ petition. This is another bold move to bring out the issue to
the forefront which showed the parents and the children sharing their
experiences and thoughts. During the program it was highlighted how it
was clearly breaking the long associated stereotype of gay males being
effeminate. It also focused on another important aspect of how the
schools should sensitize the issue of sexuality and the care and
approach a counselor should take on while counseling a child who seeks
help regarding his or her sexuality.

Hi all,

I'm in search of accomodation (not PG though). If anyone is looking for a
roommate do let me know. If any one of you is looking for accommodation, I
suggest we can look together. I'm 26 years old.

 Dear All,
 I have been on this list for years and have been active for LGBT
 rights issues. I have forged friendships here and I feel a
 responsibility to there fore inform this group.

 I have been in Kolkata recently with my mom, who is getting old now
 and has been very lonely since my dad's death recently. My mom has
 convinced me that I should get married and has also settled for the
 girl. This will be good for her as she needs company. I am willing to
 make this sacrifice for her. So I have consented. The date is fixed
 for 5th of May.

 After considering all facts I have decided that it is best to not tell
 the girl that I have been homo in the past, because I have decided
 that after marriage I will become totally family man and will not be
 homo any more. I will also let Hillol (my present partner) live in my
 present house and we will only be friends like brothers, while I live
 seperately in another house with my wife.

 I request you all to wish me best in my new life.

 Best regards,
 Aditya Bondyopadhyay

  Hello Friends

How are u guys doing hope all of u had a blast over this weekend 



well  I dint as I had a very bad experience in my 12yrs of gay party's in 
Mumbai last night I was at the Gorai beach Rainbow club party at around 1.20 I 
was standing in a queue for diner and out of blue this young chap his gayromeo 
id is mannat20 cam and bang in to me I was holding my drink glass in hand which

he came with 5 guys who were so called bouncers for the party and started 
hitting me I was punched in my face and also kicked in abs by all 6 of them I 
have been left with solon eye an skin tear on my face I went up to the 
organizer who is the owner of that property (as he mentioned to me)



a due of father son they said boss its ur personal matter we cant help into it 
I said I will call police then they said boss that boy is a part of the 
organizers group and asked me m I bisexual  I said no then the kid is telling 
me they all are bisexual an we gay should not come for such party's 



and then i saw a police Van standing out side on beach I went up to police an 
asked him I wan lodge a compliant against this guys as they bashed me up he was 
trying to take me in corner but when I spoke with him in Marathi he sobered 
down an mean time that the owner father son came running towards me an they 
called that guy out and asked me what do I wan now 



I said plz ask him to say sorry he said sorry to me as off he is doing mercy on 
me 



I cooled down an was seating there on the rock as my friends were enjoying 
party few guys Gundas  came up to me an said boss you  acting very smart u have 
big balls to go to police and do complaint and  started threatening me that 
they will tie me up an through me in sea and no one will know what happened to 
me  and were very abusive 



and did pulled me by my collar I was all alone so I dint argued with them I 
said boss the matter is over now why are guys starting it again they still went 
of threatening me for a moment I was very scared but then I said sorry to them 
an stated walking alone to ward the high way they all followed me all the way 
in that thin road that take us to main road

There is a strong intolerance brewing in India. Probably, it was always
there, probably I was ignorant about it, but now the frequency by which it
makes headlines almost every other day makes me sit up and wonder, what is
frikkin' wrong with us? Why are we so hell-bent in intruding other’s
personal lives and decisions? By some twisted justification given in the
name of ‘honour’, mothers and fathers kill their daughters and sons,
brothers take the lives of their sisters and brother-in-laws, and relatives
decide the fate of young couples.

What is more shocking is the fact these people have no remorse for their
bloody actions and firmly believe what they did was right. I can’t help but
look at them with the same lens that I see terrorists who slaughter in the
name of ‘jannat’ and take pride about their heinous acts.

Post striking down section 377, it is encouraging to see journalists being
more open to writing about homosexuality. On July 2nd, which marked the one
year anniversary of the landmark High Court judgement, Indian dailies
extensively discussed about matters concerning gays. The stories mostly
reflected on the hopes and dreams of millions of Indian gays - to be
accepted for what they are without any grudge. Celine Jaitley, the actress
and gay rights activist, penned a wonderful piece on Hindustan Times trying
to make readers see that this is not just about gay rights, but about [image:
Deciding which flavour of ice cream one wants is a CHOICE, but to be GAY or
STRAIGHT is NOT!]human rights. (Read the article
herehttp://www.hindustantimes.com/This-is-not-about-gay-rights-but-human-rights/Article1-566308.aspx.)
But I still get that irking feeling when the word “choice” gets mingled in
this whole debate. Deciding which flavour of ice cream one wants is a
CHOICE, but to be GAY or STRAIGHT is NOT. Homosexuality and choice do not
sit on the same boat. Period!

Though there were numerous articles that touched upon homosexuality very
positively, I’m not sure how many got read by those who hold the prejudice.
And the reason? The photos used for these articles were supporting the
stereotypical beliefs. If I were a homophobe, and I see an article about
homosexuality with a snap that enforces my prejudiced believes, would I be
challenging myself to see situations differently? May be the transgendered
and cross-dressers are more “camera-friendly” (by the way, I do not have
anything against them), but I feel that the media should resist the
temptation of magnifying stereotypes. A picture indeed screams a thousand
words and we badly want to see something that we can identify with.

g_b The GayBombay Sunday Meet Held at Thane

2009-12-01 Thread Sam
Most of us are so hung up on sending and getting – asls, stats,
prefs, got place and not my type - messages, that it becomes vexing
after a while and I wished to be in a zone where those criterion
didn't matter to meet another gay man. Although I had attended some
gay parties after coming to Mumbai, this would be the first time where I
would be interacting with a bunch of guys and discussing about
homosexuality openly.

I suppose it must have taken a lot of courage to come to a meet
like this, Umang asked me. I replied there was no question of
courage since I badly wanted to attend one of these meets more than
anything else. The group was of around twenty people and the meet
happened at one of the GayBombay member's house. His mother was also
there and I thought it was indeed very brave and understanding of her to
allow something like this at their place. After we all gave our intros,
his mother was asked about how she was dealing with her son's coming
out and I listened to her with heavy heart as her words echoed the
feelings of my mother
http://samsbloginess.blogspot.com/2009/03/and-i-came-out-to-my-mother.h\
tml . I just hope that at least starting from our generation, when
couples become parents, they wake up to the fact that homosexuality is a
reality and that their new born could be gay; so that they could be
prepared and more tuned to accept the truth later on.

Then our discussion steered towards different scenarios of gay life
– why do people find it difficult to be in relationship even when
they long to be in one, how much of an issue is lack of sex in a
relationship and how important is sex for a relationship to work, what
pick up lines would one use to get a guy fora date and what was the
cheesiest that one had to encounter, how would your friendship with your
gay friend be affected if he marries a gal and what could be the best
approach if one comes to know that his best friend's guy is sleeping
around. And lastly, it was heartening to hearwhen they shared their
thoughts on how much GayBombay has helped each of them in becoming what
they are now, in accepting their sexuality and also blessing them with
some everlasting friendships.

I feel these kind of meets could bea great relief for many closeted gays
if they dare to attend, coz this gives a platform to make themselves
realize that they are not alone anda friendship is just a `hi'
away and also that meeting other gay guys doesn't always have to be
equated with sex.

 Hey,

 Putting out the disclaimers first : This is not a report-report but a
 feedback  - and hence, not particularly comprehensive in terms of covering
 what happened at the meet. It is essentially what ONE of the attendees took
 back from the first parents meet that he attended. And I am writing this
 simply because I loved it.

 On a personal note, despite being physically unwell, I wanted to be there
 because I had never attended a parents meet in the past - as also for my
 sister who I recently came out to and who wanted to see people 'like me' and
 their parents. The fact that my sister was to meet my boyfriend's mom for
 the first time was definitely an added bonus.

 Listening to the parents speak so pro-the cause was interesting and
 encouraging. As Umang rightly put it, I did visualize my parents sitting
 there. Aham's coming-out-to-the-househelp was very cute - so was the
 question about attending a marriage as a couple. The topics ranged from
 short-lived relationships to first-responses-to-a-gay-son's-coming-out.It
 was interesting.to hear the different perspectives that the parents had. I
 also personally feel that Mr. Desai made a strong point. The lawyer's
 elaboration on the status of the 377-related case added an interesting
 dimension to the discussion.

 The movie made an interesting watch. It was well-made and the filmmaker
 very beautifully narrated their vision behind making the movie. It was also
 interesting to hear him add the baba-psychiatrist elaboration. The movie was
 good but predictable for me but not for my sister who sobbed away on our way
 back home thinking about it. I think this clearly explains that the movie
 had made its point.

 And yes, my sister smiled and held my hand (and did all the things a sister
 would do in a Bollywood gay film about a sister and a gay brother) when
 someone's sister talked about her gay brother and that she was extremely
 supportive of him.


 That's about it. I had a very good time. A heartfelt thanks to everyone who
 made the event possible.

 There is nothing wrong in wanting to be a girl, or in being a girl for that
 matter. What is problematic is the type of girl. A girl does not have to be
 a doormat. A girl can be a powerful, self-confident, empowered, emancipated,
 and independent person. That person does not have to grovel at the feet of
 men to have an identity. This Karva fast crap is designed by patriarchist
 society to keep women in bondage. When was the last time society insisted
 that men fast for their women. This is the moedel I find sick. And gay men
 can do well to emulate and adopt the positive empowered woman as a
 aspiration. They can be Laxmibai, or Kali, or Durga, or Sarojini Naidu, or
 Razia Sultana...They do not have to be Meena Kumari...

 And it has nothing to do with love, it jhas everything to with life wth
 dignity

 Subject: Fundraising appeal for Voices Against 377's Supreme Court case
 work

 *Please forward to all community e-groups and list-serves*

 Dear all,

 With the Supreme Court admitting the SLP of Suresh Kumar Koushal
 asking for stay pending review of the Delhi High Court judgment, the
 case brought against Section 377 by Naz Foundation India Trust vs
 Union of India is once again sub judice.

 Voices Against 377, impleaded in this matter in the High Court, is a
 coalition of women's rights, child rights, sexuality rights, legal
 rights groups, and individuals. Being a space of activism, it is a
 non-funded coalition. Hence Voices relied entirely on community
 contributions to cover the costs of litigation in the Delhi High
 Court.

 We appeal once again to the queer community and queer supportive
 friends to support our costs in the Supreme Court, with personal
 donations. We are already incurring costs related to case work,
 including fees to lawyer who filed our caveat in the Supreme Court,
 legal research work, photo copying, etc. Towards these we have raised
 Rs 10,000. We immediately need to raise another 40,000.

 Thanks and solidarity,
 -Lesley

Re: Re: g_b 1,500 animal species practice homosexuality--Ramdev may go to court against them

2009-07-08 Thread sam s tam
I dont know if this insane so called BABA Ramdev has ever read the Bhagwat 
Gita. In that it is written that just by enchanting the name of Krsihna and 
doing your Karma with good deeds is more than sufficient than doing the Yoga n 
other sort of exercises. The Indian culture which was very rich was eroded by 
the Mughals (Muslims) and the Britishers for their own sake. Also the superior 
technology (Nano technology was very much in India which you can make out from 
the old temples sculptures), economic and wealth that India had those days now 
no more exists with India. And these foolish people like ramdev still keep on 
following those stupid rules and the corrupt culture. I dont know if this 
foolish has ever visited a temple of Lord Shiva. It is the Ling (pind) that 
we worship. Also most of know as to why Hanuman is orange in color (some days 
back some one has quoted the background for that). I dont know if anyoen has 
seen a program that was shown on NatGeo some years back that, in China too they 
have this kind of Ling and they worship it too same as we do here in India. 
The Taj Mahal as you all might be aware the was a Lord Shiva temple called Tejo 
Mahal (I think I dont need to repeat that history here).

I dont know why people believe that it is something wrong. You might have 
noticed that people do often talk that the god is the creator n destroyer of 
everything and then how come they can think that there something wrong with us. 
God has created each and everything with a specific meaning and reason. Why 
cant these people think that this is a very good point to make it legalized 
since already India is already facing a (huge) population problem. I am sure 
that this might help in bringing down the number of orphanages since then they 
will have a gay or a lesb. parent to adopt them. Also it can, to a some extent 
be responsible to lead a stress-less life.

I think it was the last Sunday that there was a debate aired in India TV where 
Aditya and Edna (I am not able to recollect the exact name of that lady who 
accompanied Aditya). Unfortunately I was not able to see that from that start. 

Fortunately in Maharashtra, atleast in Mumbai, the vernacular lead news paper 
Maharashtra Times is not against the Delhi Court verdict. In fact through it 
suppliments it tries to show that it is absolutely Normal and there is nothing 
wrong in it. I hope people understand it that it is normal and not any kind of 
disease.

2009-06-24 Thread sam s tam
I in total agreement with what Prashant says. 

You have tried to point out the very root of this issue. Ruining Life and not 
just of yours but also of your dependents...and as far as the Indian culture or 
the mentality you say, any one would least be interested in ruining the life of 
his beloved ones.

Also one thing I would like to bring at over here that the Police cyber cell is 
very active now-a-days due to advances in technology. You never know whether 
theres any cop or his informer keeping an eye on the mail getting circulated 
through group. So I feel we need to be more cautious in this regards. I would 
not at all blame the moderator as to its not possible to know who with what 
background and with what intensions is joining the group.

Also I am able to recollect that some time back some one had quoted some 
blackmailing instances that got triggered from the rest room of Dadar or Kurla.

Just we need to be extra cautious even after the 377 is removed since we then 
may not become the direct target of police, but yes would be vulnerable to any 
sort of harrasment from the society to which I hope every one here might be 
matured enough to understand the police's reaction to that.

On Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:12:56 +0530  wrote
Dear all,
 
I never want to use bad words for anybody but this time I am using. The writer 
of this mail is a fool and a total stupid.
 
I am an Indian gay man and I am married with a woman. About five years ago, I 
disclosed to my wife that I am gay. My children also know about it. In spite 
of this, if I was in that gay party, I would have agreed to pay any amount 
(even several lakhs of rupees) to the police, rather than being arrested, 
resulting in an announcement of my homosexuality to the whole world. 
 
If today the people come to know that I am a homosexual, the prospects of the 
marriage of my children, who will soon approach marriageable age, will be 
simply finished. I cannot ruin the lives of my children, come what may. I also 
want to live a true life openly as a gay with dignity (and that is the reason 
why I myself disclosed to my wife and children) but not at this cost. 
 
Most gay men in India are married, they have children, and their children go 
to school. If the people come to know about a school child that his father is 
gay and he was caught attending a gay party, it should not be very difficult 
for we people to understand the consequences. Those young gay boys who are 
unmarried might also have younger brothers and sisters who will have to be 
married away by their parents in due course. If the news about their gay 
status spreads in the society in this way, their siblings can never hope to 
get married. I do not think that I need to write more on this issue. All of us 
know that in India the families of such gay men will be outcasted, will be 
completely boycotted, may be thrown out of the colony, may be attacked and 
worse can happen. The gay man will be thrown out of his job; he will lose all 
his clients if he is in business and worse will happen. To be precise, some 
gay men will have to commit suicide if their
 homosexuality is disclosed to the world in this way. In spite of the suicide, 
 the reputation of their families will be completely lost. The writer of this 
 mail ought to know this.
 
The organizers of this party have invited trouble on their own by their 
irresponsible and unruly behaviour. Whenever you are going to have a large 
gathering of people, the first thing which you should do is to inform the 
local police in advance and take their permission for the event. The 
organizers did not do this. On the contrary, they were playing loud music in 
the midnight creating trouble for others. If heterosexual men and women 
organize such parties to solicit sex, their party will also be raided by 
police. We regularly read in the newspapers about certain rave parties being 
raided by the law enforcing agencies due to unruly behaviour of the 
participants who are heterosexuals. Even after the removal of 377, the police 
will raid such parties. Removal of 377 is not a license to seek and solicit 
sex in a large gathering of people any where any time. Even heterosexuals will 
be prosecuted if they do this. If you organize such a party and indulge in
 unruly behaviour after 377 goes, the police will certainly blackmail you. 
 They will threaten you to book you under some other section for which you 
 will have to reveal your name and address, and then the police will threaten 
 you that they will inform your wife and parents that you are gay unless you 
 pay them. 
 
As long as you have a secret and a hidden life, you are vulnerable to 
blackmail. 377 or no 377, it makes no difference. This is true of any other 
secret which you might have. If you have taken bribe and somebody knows this, 
he can black mail you. If you have stolen something and somebody comes to know 
about it, you can be blackmailed. The only option

Hey CONGRATS Buddy

I am sure you might have pictured something horrible, which is very common is 
such situations. Thanks to God that you are saved and now have a very high 
value experience and also suggestions\inputs from some members of the group. So 
from next time onwards, try doing it into a safe place that you are confident 
about.
As rightly said by some members, you can any time deny that you were involved 
since the cop didnt had any proof of your guilty and also your minor firend 
was very co-operative. Also I hope by now you might be aware of the Indian Law 
with so many loop-holes.. its better not to speak of it, but to use it when 
necessary... :)
I hope you get some one matured (by age though not necessary) with a more 
comfortable place away from spying eyes and of course not a car for your 
explorations :)

HI 

May 06 2009

AT 10 am the police officer called me and him to the police station and bribed 
him  Rs. 1200

My partner and I visited the police station. I paid Rs.1000 and my partner 
paid Rs. 200

The officer didnt ask even a single question to us.

The officers name is Mr.B in Mulund 

He was a top cop with a hyundai sonata, GPS device, Touch screen mobile phone, 
High speed internet with laptop in his office. He caught us when he was off 
duty and returning home on May 5. 

Special Message to Aditya - The Guy whom I met on the internet on 
planetromeo.com told me that he is 20 years old and thats why I agreed to meet 
him.

After we had that issue yesterday I took him for dinner in a restaurant and 
there he told me that he is in 11th std. He is taller than me so I thought 
that he is actually 20 years old.

He didnt run away and faced the consequences. He was calling me the whole 
night to see whether I am OK or not. I have never seen a teenager so mature 
caring and lovable.

now after paying bribe we are free and relieved.

Thanks for your views guys!

My experience is most of the gays expect only sex and not a 
friendship. They expect you to be a male-prostitute and expect only 
sex and nothing else. Naturally if you deny that they immediately 
end the relationship.

meet.
  All these years i could not get courage to go out and meet people like many

like its not safe,,... people are not good over there, u will be exposed in

convince that its nothing like that. Infact the environment is very comfortable 
and friendly. When you meet like minded people it eases u out. You no longer 
feel suffocating with a thought of why god made me that way. After meeting so 
many people we realise that i am not alone this way and being gay is not bad. 
  We met at JATC in Bandra at 5.30 in the evening. From there we moved to one 
of the members place nearby. We were abut 30 of us and i was lucky there were a 
lot of Newbies (as they called us) in the meet. 1st each one of us introduced 
themself which was followed by general discussion on Thane incident, Gb picnic, 
saftey measures to be taken while using social networking sites.
  I would thank all the members as a very special care was being taken that 
each one get an opportunity to speak up. (specially the newbies)
  So i would suggest all the members who still fear to attend such events 
.Please remove all ur misconception and come for such events no matter how ur

As rightly said by manoj, eyes tell a lot ... they tell many more where word 
fall short off to express... 
I can understand you mit hav doen this with a fear of loosing a good 
gayfriend.. but this act mit have been soem what shocking for that guy. Thanks 
that you shared you experienced n didnt worried whether it was good or bad 
even i experience such touching in a crowded train, you wont experience such 
things in a empty or a less crowded train  i like such acts  expecially 
doing them in such a crowd n dyign to hide our act from their view is another 
pleasurable feeling just look into the eyes of the person who's touching 
you if he please he too will respond in the very same way else he mit give 
a strange look if he's not of that kind 

Sanket.

Isnt it a bit stupid to do either of both the acts?

   The eyes speak tons which the words fail to express. So if the guy is 
 someone u life cant it be that u look at the guy - i am sure a person is 
 inteliigent enuff to know the intention behind the look quite easily- if he 
 does respond ..well smilespeak ...or watever.
   Or do you really like the rush and adventure of groping without knowing 
 where and whom u are groping and like the adventurous high that the act gives 
 -- if yes wel be prepared for whatever the consequences--- good or bad

 Sorry that that happened. Do be careful next time. Quite often, I 
 also touch people I like in trains and if they don't like me, they simply 
 move away. Getting beaten up happens only if I pester the person beyond

 though I am bi, it may happen that I am not attracted to the person who 
 touches me and then I move away or tell the person to shift a little bit as 
 he is standing too close and he DOES move away. I say this very politely, I 
 do not start a fight. It is a request.
   Beatings have not happened. Maybe they happen if you are TOO persistent? 
 Can't say for sure. Train crowds are used to homos and are tolerant. Maybe 
 you got the odd gay basher.
   Maybe next time you could try inserting a finger into his palm, instead of 
 touching his thighs? That would be less offensive to a straight.
   Don't really know what advice to give you on this, except that I share your 
 pain and embarassment and sympathise with you and thank you for sharing this 
 with us.

 Hello Everybody,

   Last weekend I had experience which is a nightmare for any gay.

   I was travelling by train, wherein I looked at this guy who I thought was a 
 gay, when I started making inroads by touching his thighs..

   I got heavely beaten in front of all passengers.

   I dont know whether I feel ashamed of myself or am I among the people who 
 are making the gay community more vulnarable to homophobic people by my acts.

   Certainly I did learnt lesson, the hard way.

   Take Care.
   Abhay

Hats off to those who are organising these events and lucky are those who can 
attend it.

Hoping to be a part of it some day.

Would be great to see you all in pics.   

Have fun guys and all the best for the event.

Subject: gm GB Picnic to Matheran - 2 Events for the cost of 1 - A Curtain 
Raiser.

In GB's attempt to create safe spaces where intellectual and emotional aspects 
of gay life get preference over things carnal. GB Picnics took GB events from 
the confined enclosures of pubs, discotheques and auditoriums to the vast 
expanses of beaches and hill stations. From Kanheri Caves to Elephanta and now 
Matheran, GB picnic have come a long way. We started with Kanheri Caves which 
was very much within the city limits and everyone had to bring their own meal. 
GB just made the gathering possible. Until we went to Lonavla where you were 
picked up right from the forecourt of your house and dropped back, to the meals 
and entertainment served on a platter. There's more to Matheran! 


Why Matheran?
Matheran - where time stands still and our fast paced world seems to be a 
distant planet. Matheran was discovered in 1850 by a British, Mr. Huge Poynt 
Mallet, the then Collector of Thane, and was popularized as a tourist 
destination by Lord Elphinstone the than Governor of Bombay. Matheran is an eco 
sensitive region, and hence its flora and fauna are protected. Its eco system 
is kept away from the modern transport infrastructure and systems. Tarred roads 
don't exist here and hence modern vehicles that run on fossil fuels are not 
seen here. They have to parked 3 kms outside the city centre. Buildings with 
Victorian architecture have been preserved in Matheran and most of these 
structures are declared heritage structures. 

The only means to get into the heart of matheran is the 100 year old toy train 
The railroad was the handiwork of Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy. He spent Rs. 16 lakh, a 
princely sum back then to develop the railway. He even travelled to Germany to 
produce special engines from Oriensten  Kopple. This 'toy train' is one of the 
slowest forms of transport (12 miles per hour), but for the fans of nostalgia 
and leisure, the train ride is an amazing experience. Along the 21-kilometer 
track from Neral to Matheran laid out by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, 
India's first Railway company now renamed as Central Railway are some extremely 
breathtaking views of the valleys. 

What's different about this picnic?

1. We have combined 2 GB events into one. We have included a party in the cost 
of a picnic. We shall be spending the day at a 4 star resort that houses the 
best discotheque in Matheran. Apart from the pleasures of the picnic you can 
party too.

2. You can swim in the pool, play carom, table tennis or pool or even workout 
at the gym.

3. For the first time, half the seats on the toy train to Matheran are reserved 
for us, Two compartments exclusively for GayBombay.

About GayBombay:

All GayBombay is a non profit group in service of the community. Balances if 
any are used to support other non revenue events. Losses if any are made up by

There are hundreds of gay bars in London, and there are a lot of gay Indians 
there, however many are not out to their families and so do not go.  There is a 
gay Indian club night one Thursday of every month called Club Kali - they have 
a website so google it and details will be on there.

Re: g_b Blood So Impure ????

2007-03-14 Thread Sam S
I am in US, and have donated blood here.

Here they even ask for your history if you had paid sex, or sex with someone 
who had paid sex, or got paid for sex, or if you had sex with someone from some 
countries in Africa where no. of HIV cases are very high, or unprotected sex.

All these questions are for everyone, no matter what is the sexual orientation. 
This kind of information is necessary in case you have not been tested after 
having one of the above encounters. And also, I dont know what you think about 
US, but it is a very conservative country.

Your doubts are true. Even i faced the same kind stuff
when i went fro the donation with the Appolos.. The
only indication was basically since gays have the high
intensity to acquire th Transmitted Disease and nothin
elde.. I never gave a second thought abount it and
neither should anyone. Only one thing is that there
must be some lines in the Form for the straight ppl as

Dont worry Manthan ... such stupid things do not scare

 Hi guys !
 
 Sometime back, i had gone to donate blood at the
 bloodbank of 
 Lilavati Hospital at Bandra, for a friend of mine,
 who was in urgent 
 need of it. Before the needful was done however, we
 had to fill in a 
 (sort of) medical history form where stuff like
 whether u were 
 sufferring from asthma, jaundice etc. were
 asked.pretty normal 
 fare. And then, i froze ! Somewhere down below was a
 qustion R U a 
 homosexual ? I was obviously shocked !
 
 What is the need for asking such a stupid question ?
 How on earth 
 could a respectable hospital like Lilavati, where
 all the top 
 filmstars etc. go for their treatment, be so
 regressive ? I asked 1 
 of my doctor pals  he said that the Govt. of india
 had definetly not 
 made any such idiotic norm. Then why this
 discrimination ? 
 
 The only reason i could come up with was that
 because of the 
 stereotype of gays being promiscious, we perhaps
 fell under some kind 
 of high-risk category  hence, if i'd have ticked
 yes, they'd have 
 denied me permission to donate blood, DESPITE me
 being completely 
 healthy ! But why this discrimination against us ?
 Does this mean 
 that heterosexuals have purer blood ? For all u
 know, the hetero 
 guy/gal standing by my side might be HIV+ve while I
 am not  still my 
 blood may not be given, purely for me being a
 gay.and the patient 
 may just die.
 
 I was reminded of one episode in Queer as Folk (the
 US version) where 
 Brian is denied from giving his blood to save Mike,
 just because he 
 was gay.If this can happen in a developed society
 like the US, what 
 abt. lesser mortals like us ?
 
 VERY HESITATINGLY, i had to tick the No column, as
 the patient 
 reqd. blood urgently and there was no time to be
 wasted on arguments. 
 It wrenched my heart, but i didn't have any option.
 I had to attend 
 to another urgent engagement that day due to which,
 i had to push off 
 early. Do other hospitals in Bby, or for that
 matter, anywhere else 
 in India, ask for this criterion ? What logic does
 it serve ? Thought 
 that i'd bring it to the attention of every member
 of this group...

Interesting mail..nice to read and learn..  with best wishes   Rohitridgeet roy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  Bangalore.Where can you find gay men?1. Cubbon Park  2. Ching Lung Bar (on Saturday Nights)  3.  4.  5....Someone once did give me the names of the 10 gay cruising places in this city. And I was surprised to know that Bombay and several other cities in the world actually registers a list of gay cruising places. I wonder if
 anyone is maintaining a list for Bangalore.Anyway.I dunno about Bombay or New York, but I can tell about my current city - Bangalore....Do you find gays here?The Answer is a big NO....For those of you who are shocked, let me rephrase my answer. I think Bangalore is dominated with Bi-sexuals. So one cannot ask that question - as it stands technically wrong. So the question, do we have people from the alternative lifestyle and practices? 
   Yes. Plenty....Ever taken a walk through Cubbon Park. I tried thrice. The first two times I ended up in bed with two very very hot-in-bed guys. The third time I decided to just watch. For those of you who havent been there, please rethink your preferences before entering. Its not what you would probably expect. If you are expecting models hanging from every tree and adonis growingon grasses - forget it. You get common, regular, local guys. Mostly old.But you might get lucky. Itmight take a lot of scrutiny though....I tried Ching Lung
 once. Fool that I am, I entered it at 3.40 pm in the afternoon on a Saturday. The people looked at me like I am a Martian landed to proclaim Peace. Anyway, I quickly found a way out. Again, its not a very nice place to date - if you are thinking of a cosy romantic date. Once while I was passing I could hear several guys (on a Saturday, so should call gays and bi's) shouting at the top of their voices. Probably they were singing and dancing - but from outside it seemed kinda weird. Anyway ......I spend a few days in Mysore. Just infront of my hotel there was another park - starts with C, forgot the name. I met a young guy - smart and cute. We just started talking. It was probably one of those rare walks that I had in my life, where sex didnt govern the discussion. So I didnt hesitate to
 plant a kiss on his cheek before leaving - right in front of 20 odd people standing there....I hail from Calcutta, and had some of the best experiences there. I happened toget lucky even in an otherwise wretched college trip to Bombay. I know its too minuscle to generalize, but I frankly dont find the art of sex different anywhere.Someone once told me in bed that he hasexperienced americans doing it real good. Another told me that the australians are real men. I hardly find any difference. Does sex depend on demographics, culture, religion - the society at large.I thought its how the guy does it.   
 What do you think ?...Tops are tops everywhere. They fuck and forget. Few are decent enough to give a call.Bottoms are bottoms everywhere. They get fucked and crave for more. And this time they want a committed relationship.And then there are the different middlemen, who would disagree that they follow different parameters. But then, these people are everywhere - whether Bangalore or Borneo....So happy shagging your city boy.Rij

hai guys ,


this is a 8 years love story.

i am in love with a male, who is my friend since our college days. his name is sindoor. we were in our engineering days, when i fell for him.

lately all our classmates came to know and also the girls, ofcourse his girl friend too. i was at first attracted by his hunky looks, his fair complexion. his height. his strong body. his sexy smile, his rosy lips. his naughty plays and looks. 

his stylish dressing sense used to drive me mad. during the fourth semester, he called home for combine studies. the whole nite, till 3 am we studied. and then he went asleep.

we were gettingcalls from our other friends, who were making fun of us and atleast used to say sindoor, enjoywith your partner, he just used to give smile, nothing else.

i did not sleep, i was continously looking at him tll 6 am. his legs, his bermuda, his hair on the legs, thighs, his face, his hand, and finally i got the chance to wake him up in the morning 6am. i touched him for the first time. first his hand, i called him by his name to wake him. he was still in deep sleep. 

then i started moving my hand around his body. first his hand, trhen shoulders, his face, his head, his hair, i started massaging. he was still in deep sleep. then his ears, his nose, his eyes and finally his lips. at that moment, i felt that i was on the top of the world. i was so happy. he got up. did not say anything. he dropped me home. 

next day onwards, i had a very bad time in the college. he stopped talking to me. he tried to be away from me. but he could not close the mouths of the classmates. cos, everyone knew that i ahd spent a nite with him. so each and everyone were asking what actually happened. we did not bother to give explainations. 
day by day he was going away from me. i was feeling very frustated. going to college had become a sort of punishment to me. after few months, things started getting better. he once agian started talking to me, but not as before. i used to ask his examination hall ticket, take it to the temple. and return it back. even this issue was highlighted by all friends. 

but, he never used to sit next to me. he was actually afraid of the people around. but i was not. this continued for a long time. at last semester we went to project tour. i was pretending to be happy. but under se i was not. cos, i had to encounter him every moment. i literally stopped talking to him, i tried to avoid him, becos, i was fed up of all things that used to happen after that. i prayed for his prosperity, but never showed. 

he never reciprocated to me. not even one day he came to me and said, i like u. i love is door ki baat hai. even his girl friend knew about it. one nite, i did not had dinner during the trip. i was sleeping at the last seat in the bus. i was not sleeping, i was aware what was going on outside the bus. everyone were having food outside. i was left, so all forced sindoor to call me. he finally entered the bus and called me. i did not go, then he said, plz come for my sake, at the moment, once again i was on the top. i went and had dinner. i saw his eyes, it was full of some kind of attachment. i was high.

at the end of the college, time came to be apart. we exchanged our autographs. i wrote about 5 pages, everyone in the class read that. but i did not bother. i also gave him to write atleast three words, he said that he would, but i never got the book back. we were away, i tried to come out of that and start a fresh life in this professional front. 

after one year we were still no where. i thought of doing some software course. i was looking for it. he too was looking for it unknowingly. ( i did not know). he came to know from others that i was alos looking for it. he was alone those days. he called me once and said that he would be joining a course, if he gets one or two more people, the course fee would be greatly reduced. i was justing waiting for one all from him, soon i agreed. we had a good time together for 6-7 months. meantime, he got a job in call center. he joined that, then i was left once again alone. i did not join call center, cos, of my bad vocabulary and english.

g_b Dissident Sexualities: Muslim and Gay in the UK

2005-02-08 Thread Sam Durrani






http://www.muslimwakeup.com/sex/archives/2004/12/dissident_voice.php
Yakoub Islam takes a look at the gay Muslim scene in Britain and argues that homophobia is an act of social injustice based on prejudice rather than fact and reason.
By Yakoub Islam
As a middle class, white, British-born convert to Islam, nothing has perplexed me more than the ideas and beliefs held by many ordinary Muslims about gay people. I’ve tried to rationalize it, justify it and excuse it. In the end, I felt impelled to put on my sociologist’s cap and investigate the problem. What I discovered was that the history of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning (LGBTQ) Muslims, even their social reality, has been grossly misrepresented and misunderstood.
In this article, I will attempt to reconstruct the core historical and contemporary realities of LGBTQ Muslims in the spirit of ithar, a term which roughly translates as ‘self-sacrificing generosity’. I will start by brushing off the cobwebs of the past and roughly summarize what is known about LGBTQ Muslims by gender historians. The social research on LGBTQ Muslims in Britain will then be considered, exploring the human rights problems experienced by one section of this population – lesbian, gay and bisexual women.
As I am not an expert on Shariah, I will not be considering the legality of LGBTQ behaviours within Islam. Rather, my intention is to draw people’s attention to the dire consequences of continuing to rely on prejudice, rather than reason and research, to relate to LGBTQ Muslim people in the UK. My conclusions, however, should be equally applicable to other developed nations with Muslim minorities. 




Speaking Historical Truth
In Arab and South Asian lands, pre-colonial LGBTQ activity was almost always hidden from the public gaze, but was nonetheless well-known. It took diverse forms, and even amongst the mainstream literature of classical Islam, there are numerous examples of same-sex relationships written about in an affirmative way. Medieval Persian poetry, including Rumi, esteemed the love of the older man for the younger man; and the now lost Kitab al-Sahhakat (Treatise on Lesbianism), dating from the ninth century, is equally assenting of women-women sexual activities, as are later works of Arab eroticism. There is also substantial evidence of the stigma surrounding pre-marital heterosexual relations finding outlet through male-male sexual acts, as there is in contemporary gay Muslim studies.
The arrival of the colonial Europeans introduced new ways of conceptualizing dissident sexual and gender behaviours. By the nineteenth century, Europeans had two well established social discourses on non-heterosexual activities. One was the institutionalization of lesbian and gay activities within a social identity, separate from gender: the self-conscious, dissident homosexual. For some lesbian, gay and bisexual Muslims, this may call into question their explanation of sexuality as something biologically innate. But Europeans did not invent homoerotic desire – what they did was link it to their sense of self. 
The other discourse was evangelical Christian homophobia, a moralizing fear and hatred far more extreme than the mocking indifference common throughout much of the pre-colonial Muslim worlds. It was a discourse that has its parallels in the reactionary masculinities of popular Salafism and Wahhabism. From the hijab to homophobia, Salafis and Wahhabis sought cultural defense against colonialism through promoting their patriarchal and hyper-masculine ideologies. The fanatics who flew jet planes into skyscrapers on 9/11 proved to be no different in their hyper-masculine mumblings than modern neo-fascists – misogynistic, and inevitably, homophobic.
The rationalization of homophobia is an example of Salafi dissimilation par excellence. Indeed, if ever there was an exemplar of the intellectual bankruptcy of Salafism, it is in the telling of non-heterosexual Muslim history. From laughable accounts of how the American Psychiatric Association reluctantly capitulated to gay pressure groups in deciding to scratch homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, to the claims that homosexuality is a ‘Western disease’, the Salafabi mindset demonstrates what their anti-secularism is all about – the end of critical thought.
Fortunately, the interaction between Muslim and colonial texts has also forged more positive discourses. Non-heterosexual and transgendered Muslims around the world are increasingly talking about their sexual experiences and gender identities in a way that echoes European discourses. It makes sense to them, like computers and cars. But these dissidents are not talking quite the same talk, or walking quite the same walk, as European and American gays.
Witness the birth of the modern LGBTQ Muslim.
Speaking Personal Truth
Today, gay Muslims in Britain are speaking truth to prejudice on two fronts: the personal and the political. Unusually, it

Re: g_b Married gays - learn to accept all hues of gays

2004-12-01 Thread sam raj


I too agree with the opinion that ONE MUST ACCEPT GAY/Bi AS THEY ARE..
Without insisting them for coming out or anything else..


abbey fifty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hello everyone
Lets avoid getting worked up on this one. Each side
has a point. Calling married gays pickpockets do not
make them one. 

But one must remember that one must learn to accept
people for what they are. Even within the gay
community there are various types - bottom, top, bi,
transgender, crossdressers, etc etc. 

And so there are
married gays, married for whatever reason. Why rile
against them? Please accept every shade of gay as they
are, for what they are. If they cannot come out then
so be it. There are practical difficulties of coming
out to ones wife and children. 

Easy to say be honest but difficult in practice
because tradition and existing biases work against
understanding a gay husband or father. One has to give
time for society to open up.
Cheers!
