g_b Re: Gay Guy Duped In Matunga. Another Entrapment Case. Please Help.
I got in touch with Harsha and offered some solutions. There have also been some mails on the GB list about that, which I'm crossposting here so people get some idea of what can be done in such circumstances: --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Guy InBlack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Vikram, Even after filing a complaint does it really help ?? I am just curious to know how actively to the police react to such cases. And btw I am sure that no amount of lawyers will be able to help. Coz i know how slow the law works in out lands. We don't know how the police responds to such cases since, to the best of my knowledge, no one has filed a complaint. In most cases the victim is too scared to do anything or just wants to put the whole experience behind him. One case I got to know of through the bf of the victim, and the only reason the bf got to know was because the guy had to call him for money. After that he has refused to speak to anyone, even the bf, about the experience. Neil Pate, a journalist from the Times of India who did a story on these blackmailing cases, spoke to the joint commissioner for crime (the previous one, Satyapal Singh) and he said that people should report such cases and the police would act on them because they were there to help all victims of crime, and the fact that they were gay didn't make a difference since they were citizens just like anyone else. This might just be words, but it was still good to hear a senior police officer saying that gay people had the same rights as other citizens. I do know a foreigner who took such a case to the police and because he was a foreigner and influential, they got the guy and beat him up, really badly. There is some visceral pleasure in this happening, certainly, but I don't think its a long term solution, not everyone is influential enough to get the police to do their bidding and, call me stupid, but getting the police to beat someone up for you, is not the solution we should be advocating. Harsha firstly ask your friend to stop being scared. I dont think anyone is going to call up his office. And if they do call, then set up a meeting with them for the balance money. Take the police with you and kick their butts to the jail. He should rather pay the police 1 bucks and get the blackmailer's butts kicked than paying that ronit guy another single penny. Harsh That's pretty much the advice I gave Harsha, which I'm reproducing here in case anyone else has such problems: What your friend should do depends on how out he is, how willing he is to call these guys' bluff and whether he wants to do anything about it. At the most basic level, I don't think there's much threat to him. He can simply not take their calls or, if they start calling from different numbers, he must just tell them he doesn't know who they are and they don't have any proof of anything. Even if they have taken his card or personal details, they could have got that from anywhere (or stolen them). That's why I actually think its unlikely these guys will call him. In most such cases they know that their main advantage is in the victim's immediate panic. Once the victim can think about it more, they usually calm down, ask friends and can resist. So these guys often don't call again unless they are really greedy - or if they think the guy is deep in the closet, in which case he's a good blackmail victim. If this is the case, then the ball is really in your friend's court. If they have his home numbers and know he's in the closet they can threaten to tell his family. Your friend can either agree to go along with this, and resign himself to paying out huge amounts for ages (one guy paid over a lakh over three years). Or he can call their bluff and dare them to tell his family. Often they won't bother, but they might and in that case he has to be prepared to come out. Finally there's the question of whether he wants to do something about it. This might mean filing a police case (but then he does have to be prepared to come out, at least to some extent). Even better is the chance of trapping them - in whcih case we should really hope they call. If your friend is at all willing to consider this, then get in touch with me and we can meet the lawyers at the India Centre for Human Rights and Law in Dongri.

g_b Gore Vidal: Was Lincoln Bisexual?
A wonderful and absolutely must read piece from Gore Vidal on the question of Abraham Lincoln's sexuality. This particular question doesn't really interest me much, since it seems to fall into the area of internally unprovable questions on which much time and passion can be spent if one has nothing better to do with one's time. But the piece Gore Vidal has written is, as expected, trenchant and very funny, and with some historical interest too - I didn't know Vidal was one of the people interviewed by Kinsey. The descriptions of attitudes towards homosexuality in the America of Lincoln's time and even up to the mid-20th century when Sandburg was writing his (completely over the top) biography are also strikingly reminiscent of how at least parts of India still feels. Am posting both the link here and the full piece - it absolutely has to be read. Vikram http://www.vanityfair.com/commentary/content/printables/050103roco02? print=true Was Lincoln Bisexual? By Gore Vidal In a Web-only exclusive, the author examines C. A. Tripp's long- awaited, hotly contested book, The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln and ponders American sexuality a century before Kinsey As a schoolboy I read most of Carl Sandburg's six-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln. Sandburg was a poet-performer, and I tended to skip his rhapsodic passages, thus missing some key points. Even so, I was sufficiently drawn to his Lincoln well, to be precise, there is no Sandburg Lincoln, only a sort of grab bag of anecdotes, a do-it- yourself folklore Lincoln, using material that, with time's passage, has been more and more rejected by those scholar squirrels who are always in attendance upon the Lincoln brigade's stern academic icon- dusters. Eventually, I came to write my own Lincoln, dealing with the master politician as a counterbalance to the folksy figure so beloved of apolitical chroniclers, particularly in the early part of the 20th century, when the sex life of a Mount Rushmoreite was taboo and speculation was neither encouraged nor pursued by those with tenure rather than truth in mind. The Second World War changed everything. Over 13 million American males served in Europe, the Pacific, and, most exotic of all, that unknown land the United States of America, which suddenly became a place of sexual marvels unknown to previous generations. But then, in 1945, when much of the war ended, we were abruptly translated from the Land of Oz back to drearyeven bloody Kansas, not to mention Indiana, where one Alfred C. Kinsey was scientifically analyzing our intimations and dreams of Oz as well as who did what sexually and why. Among Kinsey's researchers was C. A. Tripp, who had become interested in the sexuality of our greatest president, but I am now ahead of our story. In 1948, Alfred C. Kinsey published Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. He also wrote me a note of appreciation for my "work in the field": The City and the Pillar, a novel about a star-crossed love affair between two "normal" young male athletes with which I had shocked America well, the New York Times, by making the point that their affair was a perfectly natural business, despite so many popular superstitions derived from our various Bronze Age religions. At about that time I met Tripp, whose posthumous The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln has at last been published by Free Press. What the Kinseyites and I had in common so long ago was the knowledge that homosexual and heterosexual behavior are natural to all mammals, and that what differs from individual to individual is the balance between these two complementary but not necessarily conflicted drives. So, what has all this to do with our greatest president? The young Lincoln had a love affair with a handsome youth and store owner, Joshua Speed, in Springfield, Illinois. They shared a bed for four years, not necessarily, in those frontier days, the sign of a smoking gunonly messy male housekeeping. Nevertheless, four years is a long time to be fairly uncomfortable. The gun proved to be the letters that passed between them when Joshua went home to Kentucky to marry, while Lincoln was readying himself for marriage in Springfield. Each youth betrays considerable anxiety about the wedding night ahead. Can they hack it? To Sandburg's credit he picked up on this (who could not after reading the letters?), but, first time around, I skipped his poetical comments on Lincoln's "streak of lavender and spots soft as May violets." Sandburg was a typical American of his time and place; he knew that any male with sexual feelings for another male was a maiden trapped inside a male body. Even the great Mae West, our first commanding sexologist, was convinced that fairies were simply women, obliged, through no fault of their own, to inhabit crude male bodies: Plangently Doctor Mae mourned her lost sisters. Predictably, most Lincoln authorities prefer to ignore the i

RE: g_b Gay Guy Duped In Matunga. Another Entrapment Case. Please Help.
Dear Harsha, It was shocking news of yet another brutality. Let's try to find solutions. 1. Take your friend to a doctor and get a prescription saying he is in a shock state and not well. 2. Go to Matunga P.S and lodge an abduction FIR against the boy who called your friend. 3. Send a copy of the FIR or a statement to the press as release ( if not change identity and write in the editor's coloumn). 4. Let us know the outcome.

I don't understand this should be easy We should just be a little queasy And not just this feeling of uneasy I go on a date To find a mate So why do I feel such distaste Our start was on a hilt >From the moment we met up tension was built That's normal I guess, but why is there guilt We're at the restaurant We try not to flaunt For that is what we were taught They are sitting side by side But we, don't culture we abide And the romance has left and died I want to be able To take his hand across the table But that feels like some epic fable I want to do that lover's gaze Seen in movies in happier days But he seems to be more in a daze He's afraid to show his beautiful eyes He doesn't even try Sigh I guess neither do I Maybe we're expecting those unapproving glares Those eyes that say we shouldn't dare Dear God, this is so unfair I yearn for a night of fun to fill To flirt and court for trill But all we get is the bill It can be so depressing To see society is still repressing And here we are, still stressing It's not in our face in fact They found a more subliminal tact And we're following in how we act Yet we don't see that we are getting jacked I have to stop trying to hide Put fears to side And not be denied Follow my heart in stride Author Unknown!

g_b WIPRO, TCS & INFOSYS
WIPRO, TCS & INFOSYS One day, three consultants, each one from WIPRO, INFOSYS and TCS, went out for a walk. They were old buddies from engg college, and they were together for a college reunion.. For no apparent reason, they went into this zoo and passed a monkey.Being in the same business and from the same college,there was a little bit of a peer competition going on between themselves - they couldn't resist testing themselves against each other - especially the Infosys guy said to the others: "Why don't we prove who is the best among ourselves?".Whynot, said the other two. The Infoscion said "Let's have a test. Whoever makes this monkey laugh, works for the best firm". By mutual agreement, the Infoscion took the first turn. Being a pure logical strategist, the Infoscion tried to make the monkey laugh by telling jokes.The monkey stayed still. As a more practical consultant, the Wipro guy tried to make funny gestures... no good, the monkey stayed put... Now, comes the TCSer... being the practical guy he was always trained to be, he whispered something into the monkey's ear, and it burst out laughing at him. The other two were astonished. How did this TCS guy manage to beat them? No way they were going to accept defeat so easily. So the Wipro guy said "OK, let's take another test. Let's make this monkey cry !!" So there they went again, applying the same methods as before. The Infosys guy narrated sad stories, the Wipro guy made sad gestures,and they failed again... Then, the TCSer again whispered something into the monkey's ear and lo! It started crying, patting the TCSer's shoulder! The other two just could not believe their eyes! So the Infoscion said "OK, you've won twice. If you can win just this one, we will bow to you. Let's make this monkey run". And he barked at the monkey and ordered him to run. Ofcourse, it stayed where it was. The Wipro guy, true to his type, pushed and prodded the monkey - still No go. So...here comes our TCS guy, again, and whispers into the monkey's ear. The monkey just takes off! It runs and runs as fast as it can, as if it was scared to death! The other two surrendered. Said they: "OK, we give up.You're the best among us, and you work for the Best firm of the three. But please, please tell us your secret," they begged him. "Well", said the TCSer, "The first time I made it laugh, I told it I work for TCS. The next time, I told the monkey how much I get paid...so it started crying.
