Celina Jaitly sent a message to the members of Celina calls for gay rights
in india.
--------------------
Subject: A struggle with slight pain.......
Dear members of CCGR,
Numerous intolerant and homophobic people have sent me abusive messages
regarding my gay rights activism and launch of Bombay Dost on various
websites including my own.
It does not deter me from my cause but it saddens me that people have so
much hatred not only towards sexual minorities but towards people who show
them support. It is so unfortunate that people have not stopped their
hatred against the gay community but have only learnt to mask it. My
struggle has only just begin and i thank all those who stand by me in this
human rights & human dignity issue.
There are critics for everything a celebrity does so must I stop living and
listening to my heart ?
happy to do this for all my gay friends....
Just stand by me.
Celina

Dear Friends,
After the Bombay Dost launch at the Oxford Book Store on 16th April 2009,
Celina Jaitley has been getting a lot of homophobic and abusive comments
on
her website www.mycelinajaitley.com and www.bollywoodhungama.com.
The abuse is directed at her personally and she is being attacked for
being
supportive of the LGBT community.
She says that she does not care and her activism will continue but it
would
be great if we as LGBT people could write on these websites and show our
solidarity and support to one person who has dared to be with us and love
us
for being ourselves. Those who attended the Bombay Dost launch will agree
that she is an extremely genuine and caring person.
The websites are being cleaned up of the venom but our support will give
her
lot more strength and it is important for us to write positive
messages on these websites to counter all the negativity that she is
facing.
The websites are: www.mycelinajaitley.com and www.bollywoodhungama.com
Thanks and looking forward to everyone's support
