I was ecstatic upon seeing this magazine, online, for first time. Also I saw renowned artist like Mallika Sarabhai’s words of support over there. I adore her a lot. The words “India’s national gay and lesbian magazine” sparked something in me, and I thought, “oh at last… now days of gays and lesbians in India have come. There is light, there is a world for us too where I can feel free”. I thank you all who have made this happen. I hope I can live my world through Pink Pages.

Congratulations on this new effort. The quality of articles is generally good. However, there appear to be contradictions among the statement that “It will have many flavors to offer and will appeal to everyone in the alphabet soup of sexuality.”, the “National Gay and Lesbian magazine” tag, and the focus which appears to be mostly by and towards gay men. How about having inclusivity reflect in “India’s national LGBT magazine” rebranding, and more importantly, seeking out lesbians, bisexual men, bisexual women and trans people to write for it?

This gay magazine is so informative, and so unlike gay social sites which are more or less like free online brothels. This magazine I am sure, with few innovative marketing strategies would be able to make it to the BEST magazine of the nation. I think, the magazine needs to be more interactive rather than just plain articles. It needs some more visual attractiveness.

Freedom… After 150 years!
Freedom… After 150 years!
I am so happy for all my beloved brothers & sisters in India who may now arm up with love and come out from the shadows! On the day the law changed, I met a straight Indian who I know & who is against gays. Just recently he had told me, that freedom for gays would never happen in India- “at least not in the next 500 years”. So when I saw him on 2nd of July, I greeted him with a bright grin and said: “not in 500 years, ya?!”

I “was” Bi,, I “am” gay!
I was disappointed to read this article. The author seems to be extrapolating from his experience and those of his acquaintances to conclude there is no such thing as a bisexual orientation. There are thousands of us who are testament to reality of bisexual orientation. I hope Pink Pages will give voice to the bi and trans folks and not just gays and lesbians.

Books and Literature
One of us should set up a bookshop where non-pornographic LGBT literature is available. It should also contain books by Indian authors on LGBT themes.

‘Maurice’ is one of my favorite works of English Literature and one of my all time favorite films. I often wonder what became of Hall and Scudder. Of the two Alec was the only one equipped to actually work in the world. Hall for all his business class sensibilities lived in a daydream of romantic literature. As the article points out, 21st century gays and lesbians demand social equality. Have we any choice? There is no greenwood for us to run off to.

Correction: The previous issue of Pink Pages mistakenly mentioned Aham, instead of Kishore Kumar as the writer of the poem ‘He’. The error is regretted.
