The author is in no way trying to idealize homosexuality, but making us aware that it's a fact of the Indian sociaty.
Let's accept the fact. If you don't like to practice it, don't. But at least, let these people live peacefully. Don't stigmatise someone due to their sexual preferences.
I am not homosexual, neither will I like to be one. But I will not judge a person as bad/pervert due to his homosexuality.
Rather than passing judgements on others and denying that things such as homosexuality exist in India, we must concentrate on real problems like health of people, and tackling sexual abuse.

I dont agree with authors comment and those people who endorse his view. we need to live in natural way of living and should not endorse or made special provision for some sick minded people. I agree with some ones comment that if many people want bestality or incest to be legal on the name of freedom, then it shouldnt be allowed to happen. As being a human being, we need to follow some norms which is healthy and beneficial for everyone. Let not these sick people succedd in doing all these rubbish. one can not justify suicide on the name of personal freedom. then why this homosexuality be legalized.

Yes, it exists in India as well as the west - usually among frustrated people in all-men or all-women kind of environs like jails. And who says these gays are not sexual offenders? Almost always, in public transport, you'll find gay people sticking out their hands on private parts or making a pass - that is the only way they approach others - they never try to find out if the other person has a similar 'bent' of mind. Thus, should these people not be considered offenders? Do they let you live peacefully? Almost all their action is forced. In fact, gayism is a wake up call for Indians to open up and mix our so far separate gender - based soceities.
