These stories are very sad and upsetting. We in the United Sates are also going through a period of transition. On one hand we Gays have many new found rights, and on the other hand we face ingrained hatred from Conservative Christian Groups, neo-Nazis, and the Catholic and Mormon Churches.. The suicides continue. Young people are insulted and bullied, and thrown out by their Mormon parents. We do have a fantastic web site: _WWW.IT_ (http://www.IT) GETS BETTER, in which many straight and gay people speak words of encouragement to the young....including our President OBAMA. So I might suggest people try that website to start with.

HI Last week a facebook contact was very upset and afraid, he was terribly depressed. One of his friends in MP had comeout to his family and was severely trashed by his brother as a result of which that guy tried to end his life. My contact was also contemplating the same steps. I didn't know what to do I gave him the contact number of Humsafar and asked him to contact the counselor there and also advise his friend form MP. I have no clue how they are now as the contact is now inaccessible. Is there or are there any groups helplines with a wide network in India? I had heard about some UMANG group and had requested info form some one on these elite groups but he die to his inhibitions and idyocrancies did not bothered to reply. Well it may save a life; is there anyone who has such information and is not biased or stuck-up to share it? Thanks little prince-Sanjay N Lulla
