Bharat, Dulari Deshpande's piece hits the mark. Incidentally we, the Mumbai Pride Parade official blog moderation team, had posted one more link from the same magazine. Here is the link: http://queerazaadi.wordpress.com/media-coverage/ <http://queerazaadi.wordpress.com/media-coverage/> Can you or someone else translate Dulari Deshpande's article into English for the benefit of the non-Marathi speaking members of this group? As Aditya Bondyopadhyay pointed out, (this thread) "has led to a vibrant discussion on the hypocrisy of married gay guys with shitty double standards and pathetic disregard for the welfare of their spouses". We need to form a support group which will discourage gay men from considering heterosexual sham marriages and, instead, offer alternatives and strong support. Actually, watch this space for more :-) [I haven't let the cat out of the bag, have I?]. San Patil, for whom the bell tolls (!), needs help and he needs it NOW! Finally, to answer your question Bharat, YES! ofcourse there are bisexual women.
