It's obvious to me that this is a serious as well as jovial newspaper. Gosh, how it reminds me of the issues there were when "Gay News" in England was on the runway, speeding up and taking off for its maiden flight. The magazine was under prosecution for publishing Prof James Kirkup's poem "The Love That Dares To Speak Its Name" <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehouse_v_Lemon" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehouse_v_Lemon</a> This journal appears far better organised than they were then. Little by little pockets of homophobia were nibbled away. Some remain it's true but on really it's been a transformation and nearly everyone includes openly gay friends these days. Now in India this can happen, it's my firm belief that it can. Let's all keep working, working hard towards it. Well-written and succinct.

This journal appears far better organised than they were then. Little by little pockets of homophobia were nibbled away. Some remain it's true but on really it's been a transformation and nearly everyone includes openly gay friends these days.

Now in India this can happen, it's my firm belief that it can.

Let's all keep working, working hard towards it.
