It is good to see that the Indians have the good sense not to confuse sex with grammar.

As a transsexual myself does that mean that I can participate in the Indian gay parades?

I am now living in Los Angeles,USA. I was from bangalore. I ma born gay. But, in my religion, if I tell to others, they will boycott me,and make fun of me, and my parents disown me. Any way, I jsut lived a double life, concealing the real fact. Now, I ma so free here, and attend the annual gay parade every year. People think that we (gays)just pretend, or they learn to be gay. But the real fact,which they don't understand is, we are born that way. Nobody can correct us - Even in advanced societies like USA,they have failed, and come to the conclusion it is a'Gift from Gid'. It is nice to read that in Bangalore too, there was a parade. Keep it up guys. make it a annual event ,and let our parents, politicians and religious leaders know that we are born like that . Let us emphacize to tohers that 'Swamy-Naavu iruvudey heegay.opudharay oppi,bittaray bidi'>

I am too from Banfalore. I was born gay and I was strugling to cope up with my religion and my inner feelings. luckily, one of my college friend,who became very intimate with me ,one day after the Ramzan prayers, revealed to me that he is attracted to men only,and now he is attracted to me.We secretly had intimate relationships, but under closed doors. My parents wnated to get me married,and they brought home photoes of several girls. I did't want to spoil the lives of these girls,as most of the gays in my community do. i just told my parents I am not interested in marriage,and I left to work in Dubai. My friend too got a job here in dubai and we are living together.
