I am touched by this piece; thats saying a lot. While I cannot understand how a man can get attracted to another man, I believe if thats something someone cant overcome, so be it. I for one would not pass a moral judgement nor judge a person differently with reference to place in society merely cos he is gay

since when did Sodom and Gomorrah become an Indian text? You people point out to western world as the evil universe where gayness is everywhere but isn't Sodom and Gomorrah a Christian text, if I'm not wrong?
Sunil was sexually abused when he was a minor (13 yrs). But i have not heard him say it was a crime. Hope that does not mean he condones what happens. And hope he does not think it is okay if he does similar abuse to some other 13 yr old.

Hi Sanchita,
All I meant is hope Sunil is not saying it is okay for gay guys to go about sexually abusing minors. In fact, it is a crime to do so, whether one is gay or straight.

Idiot, in Indian literature, for example, Kovalan was married to 12 year old Kannagi when he was 16. Adolescence is creation of longevity of life. We are sexually mature and ready to experiment or so well before the legal age for marriage.
That is why the age of consent in UK for sex is 16 years, and in fact, it should be 14 and should be decided on a case-by-case basis. Not dogmatically like you idiots who think Sodom and Gomorah stories are part of Hinduism.
Liberalism is part of 5000 year old culture. You have been contaminated by Islamic and Victorian moral norms, which Britian has itself long given up.
there are various studies that argue (although not conclusive) that homosexuality has actually started in India. This might surprise many homophobes who continue to maintain that this behavior is not part of Indian culture. When our "great" kings married 10s of women, they usually have a sexual relationship for very few months. Then these women are practically locked up in the castle where only asexual men are allowed to serve. This resulted in a lesbian relationship among many queens in the castle, which is one of the earliest references to homosexuality
Its an individual decision or attraction.... doesnt matter to any one... but those ppl travelling in crowded bus/trains doin there tantrums in that crowd is a huge problem....woh bahut daravana hain.... that is a problem ..rest who cares
i jus saw a video on youtube where a standup comedian was talking abt why people hate gays so much in india! seeing your comments on natural imbalance - he was asking - "as if we have population issues in india!" jus highlighting wat i saw. i have nothing against anybody. every1 is gods children and seeing all this.. am greatful to god for being normal :)
Its a kind of genetic deformities, and should be treated at child hood so people cannot suffer and enjoy normal life. But in India, most of the people are involved in homosexuality because they do not get females easily and they ready to involve with any one without considering age, gender, caste, religion, social status and even some time become zooey. Core issue of conservative society, where talking on sex is sin, illegaly commiting is pride.

I think people who are really are victims of genes in this business hardly 1%, Most people involve just for fun, dont hesitate to try anything new, they love all kind of sexual preferences including TOYS and Machines, even use of condom is also one of the fascination, which also shows unnatural behavior and many people love it with varities, to explore new world, try new things in sex this is Universal Choice and Human being is the only species, who is involved in such thing to satisfy their unending sexual desires.
Cool, I am surprised at the number of responses this article has revoked. More than fifty percent of the Indian male community is bi, and they claim to be straight. Other wise can some one reply to me the huge number of posting this article has received or at least every one is curious. Guys lets be open to one another, there are tons and tons of bi%u2019s and gays in Orkut and facebook LOL with pseudo names, I know our society does not accept our orientation, still we need to realize the fact that we are not this because we chose it, its just that we are born with it and we have to live with it. In 1993, Dean Hamer found the genetic marker Xq28 on the X chromosome. Hamer's study found a link between the Xq28 marker and male homosexuality.
Also further research by Bailey and Pillard (in 1991), and by Dunne and Martin (in 2000) give clinching evidence of the genetic origin of sexual orientation.
Recent studies have also found notable differences between the physiology of gay people and non-gay people. Homosexual behavior has also been identified in more than forty species of animals
