g_b GB Sunday meet on 11th October, on Coming Out Day

2009-10-08 Thread vgd67
This Sunday's GB meet will be the usual relaxed fun Sunday meet in Bandra but 
we will have a bit of a focus. October 11th has been designated (not sure by 
who) Coming Out Day in the US, and taking out inspiration from that we'll be 
talking about coming out this Sunday. 

Let me state upfront that GB takes no strong position on coming out. We feel 
that, in a general way, its the best thing to do, but we recognise that 
everyone has personal circumstances and levels of comfort that will dictate 
when you want to come out. There's no requirement at any GB meet - even this 
Coming Out Day one - that you have to be out or intend to come out. 

What we will do though is talk about it. How you did it (if you have). Why you 
don't want to (if you haven't). Tactics on how to do it. Warnings about how not 
to do it. Discussions on how to handle friends or partners who have or haven't 
done it. How to do it in groups (oops, maybe wrong sort of doing it). How to 
handle things if it happens by accident. And whether doing it makes all that 
much difference. 

So whether you've done it or not, come and discuss it at the GB meet this 
Sunday. 

The Sunday Meet at Bandra!

Day, Date  Time:
Sunday 11 October 2009, between 6:00 and 6:30 pm 
Venue:
JATC (Just Around The Corner),
Near St. Theresa's Church,
Dr. K. B. Hedgewar Road,

We will meet at JATC and go from there to a friend's house where we can talk 
more openly.

Hi rahul
If you have used FILTERS of gmail, you can follow the steps mentioned in the
Images attached here...
Just click on links / buttons rectangled in images.
In Image#5, you have to enter different data, like filter conditions and
name for the filter.

I found filters of Yahoo, almost similar to Filters of Gmail...
Let me know, if you need more help...

Homosexuality in Indian Society by Sutra Magazine

*Author: SUTRA 
MAGAZINEhttp://www.articlesbase.com/authors/sutra-magazine/40531.htm
*

Being Indian; be it in India, South Africa, or anywhere else in the world;
our roots are grounded in conservative layers of impermeable teachings. We
are in the 21st century and even so, our traditionalist principals and
values remain. This is a strong point in our culture, but also a weakness.
It is important to note that principals should remain steadfast only if they
are commendable and impartial.

SUTRA looks back at the life of (and recognizes) the first and, to date most
prominent gay activist in India.

Ashok Row Kavi was born on 1 June 1947, in Mumbai. He was educated in
Mumbai’s “Bombay Scottish High School”, and then moved on to Bombay
University where he achieved his Honors in Chemistry.

He later achieved a diploma in Theology from the Ramakrishna Math, at which
stage he trained to be a monk. During this period he realized his
homosexuality and had come to accept it. Ashok came out in 1868, when he did
an interview in Savvy magazine.

SUTRA looks at an extract from an interview with Ashok Row Kavi, and Perry
Brass, author of How to Survive Your Own Gay Life:

Can you tell us something about yourself? How did you end up being virtually
the only openly gay man in India to speak out on the HIV issue there?

Ashok Row Kavi: “I was born in Bombay on June 1st, 1947, a premature baby
not expected to live. Amma and Anna (Mom and Dad) were Brahmin refugees
fleeing poverty in South India. Anna finally became a leading light in
Bollywood (India’s Hollywood) and a founding member of the Indian Motion
Pictures’ Producers’ Association.

I was educated in Mumbai’s elite Bombay Scottish High School from whose
Secondary School I graduated. I got an Honours in Chemistry from Bombay
University after two years doing textile engineering at the prestigious
Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute (VJTI) in Bombay.

I did my diploma in religion and comparative theology from the Ramakrishna
Math where I trained to be a monk. I also discovered my gay nature there and
was given sensible counseling for it by the monks. “Accept it as natural.
Whatever occurs in nature is natural though it may not be common,” advised
my counselor, Swami Harshananda.

I returned from the monastery to do a post graduate in Journalism while
working as a trainee in the Free Press Journal, and finally joined the
“Indian Express” chain of newspapers in Bombay. I started India’s first
Playboy clone, Debonair, with my English friend Anthony Van Braband in 1971.


I left the Express to start India’s first morning tabloid, The Daily in
1981, left that to become city editor of my home ground newspaper, Free
Press Journal. I then became bureau chief of India’s newsweekly, The Week.
There I came out, creating a ruckus in the conservative Christian
management.

I quit journalism in 1990, after attending the Fifth International AIDS
Conference in 1989 at Montreal, where I was aghast to see American gay men
fighting for their very lives to get funding to fight AIDS.

I had come out openly as a gay man in 1986 (while at The Week), when I did
an interview in Savvy, one of India’s most controversial feminist magazines,
explaining what “gay” really meant. It was not only a first but started a
furore because of the plain speaking I did about the numbers [of Indian
men involved...

Before that I used to review books on homosexuality, and thus gave a good
inkling that I was queer from the insights I had into the homosexual world
in India. Coming out was a natural defense mechanism, but I now wonder. So
many people have forgotten my long innings in journalism, human rights and
my reportage in such famous cases like the Bhopal Gas Tragedy, where I was
one of the first journalists to get in while thousands were dying.

I’ve become just a gay activist, which is a very uni-dimensional look at
my life. I have interests in religion, social biology, sexuality, science
and even astronomy. I have reported developments in India’s atomic energy
establishment, the speeches of Indira Gandhi and her downfall, done court
reporting, reported death and disaster on a huge scale. I am not just a gay
activist: I am India spanning 50 years of her 5,000 year old civilization. A
sliver of it, but a good representative one, no doubt. - Mr. Ashok Row Kavi

Re: g_b karwa chauth-my goodness Aditya........... grow up

2009-10-08 Thread Aditya Bondyopadhyay
There is nothing wrong in wanting to be a girl, or in being a girl for that
matter. What is problematic is the type of girl. A girl does not have to be
a doormat. A girl can be a powerful, self-confident, empowered, emancipated,
and independent person. That person does not have to grovel at the feet of
men to have an identity. This Karva fast crap is designed by patriarchist
society to keep women in bondage. When was the last time society insisted
that men fast for their women. This is the moedel I find sick. And gay men
can do well to emulate and adopt the positive empowered woman as a
aspiration. They can be Laxmibai, or Kali, or Durga, or Sarojini Naidu, or
Razia Sultana...They do not have to be Meena Kumari...

And it has nothing to do with love, it jhas everything to with life wth
dignity

Not straight and simple Karva Chauth

Supriya Bhardwaj, TNN 8 October 2009, 07:03am IST

CHANDIGARH: Karva Chauth, which is the celebration of matrimonial love and 
devotion, is also changing as our society’s definition of marriage evolves. 

New facets of traditional relationships emerged, as city residents observed the 
festival on Wednesday. 

Apart from married women, men also fasted on the day. But the most novel 
development of this year’s festival was that homosexuals also became part of 
the celebrations. Paro, 19, a gay man from Manimajra, fasted for his 
“husband” on the day. 

Clad in a salwar-kameez, Paro joined the women of his locality in listening to 
vrat katha and worshipping. Apart from participating in rituals with women, 
Paro was also excited about the gifts that his “husband” bestowed upon him. 
“This Karva Chauth, my husband bought me a gold chain and silver anklets. The 
attitude of society is gradually changing regarding us,” he said. 

A gay couple in Panchkula also fasted for each other’s longevity. They said 
the court’s order relaxing rules under Section 377 of Indian Penal Code had 
made their lives easier. “After such a long time, we are enjoying a certain 
amount of freedom thanks to court’s order. We are like any other couple and 
have normal feelings,” said the “husband” on condition of anonymity. 
Temples and parks emerged as hub of activity on Wednesday when women worshipped 
and listened to vrat katha. The wait for the moon led to roads in city being 
deserted in the evening. However, the night saw many visiting the markets. 
Married men also continued the recent tradition of fasting for long lives of 
their wives. 
Sector-44 resident Kavita Sharma, who tied the knot recently, said, “This 
time, my husband too decided to fast with me.”
