There was just something that did not click. I had gone out with plenty of guys and began dating at a rather young age. It was never difficult to find boyfriends. But there was still something amiss. Either he didn’t like me too much or I did not. I am a rather old school lover. All this open relationship jazz doesn’t work for me. A relationship means a relationship. Read the rest of this entry »

Ever heard of the Coming out Ball? No! It’s not a ball in which gays and lesbians come out of the closet and proclaim their sexuality to the world. Read the rest of this entry »

Between Closets
When you are gay and you do things out in the dark and with your hormones pumping, you always have to know what is going on in your body. Find the courage to find the truth about yourself.

“Hmmm…black or blue? What would look good on Gaura- !?” “Kiran, he’s gay!” “Oh…so pink it is!”
The day I came out, my mom said, “Gaurav, but you’re like any other guy out there!” and I was like, “Mom, that’s the whole point!”

Another new year is approaching and I know that we’ll soon get busy scheduling parties and waiting to see if anybody throws one in these last two months. Every time a new year starts I will become a bit nervous and I have no idea why. I guess it’s because of the resolutions I have to make or is because of the terrific parties Read the rest of this entry »

Few people were visible when I reached the August Kranti maindan- mostly volunteers, activists and some media persons. I wondered if this was because of the Swine Flu scare. The media guys started interviewing the activists and clicking photos. Then the countdown began and the numbers started swelling. Light from the prism started scattering forming a colorful Rainbow. For me it was wholly a new experience. Initially I was wearing a mask but later on my friend made me take it off and I started feeling more confident of myself. I realized I was surrounded by people of my own community. I was no more a stranger and felt more gay!

Unlike what most of you would like to think, ‘eeeesh’ did not originate with Aishwarya Rai in Devdas. It is essentially Bengali and is used to describe a variety of emotions, but for now, let’s just stick to disgust. Now my line of vision remains bound to the streets of Bangalore, but as far as I can remember, Indian street fashion tends to vary less than slightly in the various metropolitan cities and other towns of India.

If you’re a netizen, you must be aware of the way in which chat sessions go! It inevitably starts off with ASL and then goes on to ask you your “stats”. Sometimes they ask you – “Since when are you in this line?” – as if being gay is some sort of a profession for which you get paid! It’s insanely hilarious. This particular question is enough to promptly include them in my ‘Ignore’ list! Statistics! You may interpret stats in a number of ways. Read the rest of this entry »

The diary of a transgendered Indian
Ahana Bannerjie
I don’t know if it is wrong to dream. I’m a dreamer since childhood. I dream every now and then, about everything around my life. I feel safe when I dream. It’s the only place on this earth where I feel safe, independent and care free. There my people love for who I am and what I’ve become in life. There, the men praise me and my sisters love me. Men treat me like a princess, admire my beauty, eulogize my dress and play my servant, when required. Read the rest of this entry »

One morning when you wake up looking at some blue colour ceiling and then the whole day you started noticing only blue colour objects like the blue sky or Ocean or even your blue underwear or blue color font labels in g4m. Suddenly the world seems, turned blue. I guess it is a kind of colour illusion or colour perception (physics or psychological graduates excuse me for my lack of knowledge).

“I had been through the straight path, it didn’t suit me. So here I am, GAY. Cock sure now! 100% gay.” this conversation with one’s inner self is what many of us engage in. I have spoken to many people who have walked the “straight” path to discover “finally” that they don’t belong to that space. Though scientists have said time and again, that our genes determine our sexual orientation, there always a thought lingering in our minds about “circumstantially imbibed homosexuality.”

Right after 9/11, Muslims all over the world started experiencing hatred against their religion. Of course this Islamophobia is nothing compared to the gross homophobia prevalent in most Islamic countries. Westerners find it hard to get over the images of men being stoned to death just because of their sexual orientation. From then to now, Muslim Mullahs have come up with the peace loving verses of Quran, such as ‘If you kill one man, you kill the whole humanity.’ Some reformists have taken a step ahead and even concluded that Islam has everything against bi-curiosity, and nothing against homosexuality as long as gays don’t harm anyone. Yes! The Muslim world is changing. Gradually, but it is changing.

Coming out to yourself means realizing and accepting that you’re primarily attracted to people the same sex as yourself. This ‘realization’ is the first stage of coming out. Accepting that you are gay or lesbian can take longer.
With time, we realize that these feelings are not just a phase and we have to find a way of accepting them. There is no ‘rule of thumb’ to say when this point is reached. For some people it happens as teenagers, for others it may happen much later on in life. But how do you get from recognition to acceptance? It helps to talk to someone. But who? And what do you say? You might want to talk to someone who understands what this is like.
