Cheers Adrian Adrian -   I notice continually that Kolkata...the intellectual capital of India...is frequently confused by other Indians as being a part of Bangladesh or East Pakistan..   If Ethan is a forward thinking LBGT from San Francisco...as I...in 1969... a child of the vastly successful northeastern region of USA of that time...who against all the desires of my friends and family...decided to move to the San Francisco bay area...to attend the University of California at Berkeley...which at that time was the capital of Free Speech, Equal Rights and Counter Culturalism...then I would recommend Kolkata...the Indian capital of counter culturalism..   you will not find an Oakland Bay and a Golden Gate...but you will find two historic Hoogly river bridges...you will not find the Tenderloin but you will find the largest purely sexworker dominated districts i have known - see 'Born in a Bordello' the US oscar winning documentary produced by Indians and Americans that the Indian board of censorship has not permitted screening in India( from what Indian actors and producers have told me)..   And look at Kolkata as the sick SF or Philadelphia of 1969...and in 35 years seek out my burial spot and leave the petals of a yellow rose sprinkled on it after burying a 2005 quarter at my feet...to thank me for showing you the future...not the transient present...in India..   Elizabeth   Love..
