g_b April 21, 2012 - Worldwide LGBT Civil Rights March
Here's Joe Knudson's apology. I agree with you completely Aditya B., there's a lot of work that you, and others like you, have put in to make our case all the way upto the SC. It was not meant that way at all and the committee sincerely apologies. We realize the strides that have been made in various countries and most everything that goes out goes through our publicist and I agree his choice of wording on some things should be changed from country to country. His wording may fit certain countries, but this particular wording definitely does not fit India and I personally know that and I should not have sent it worded as the publicist has worded certain other messages to other countries. On behalf of the committee and myself, we do apologize for that condescending tone as it definitely wasn't the intent and there is no excuse to use the same wording for all countries of a certain region of the world, as many have made tremendous strides within their own country and we know India has done just that. We just want the inclusion of India so that global media and publicity for the event will help drive all of our mutual points across to both societies and governments alike. The international committee definitely has respect for every individual in every country for what they have done in this area and we will work much harder on proving that to them from this point forward!

Re: g_b April 21, 2012 - Worldwide LGBT Civil Rights March
All of it is right and good, and I agree that there is a good need and reason for India to participate. I'm sure we will. What I resent is the way the writer of this mail has condesendingly stated that this event will be the 'starting point for LGBT Civil Rights' in India. In one fell swoop he has negated the strides that India has made in the area of civil rights for LGBT, as well as rubbish the hard work that countless individuals have put in to make those strides possible. An international event like this cannot be based on condesension of the global north coming in with their snooty belief that they will make it better for us, while ignoring our own work and efforts. In other words, its bound to be a bad start if it is not based on mutual respect. I hope the organisers will be aware of these sensibilities before they start roping in most of Asia and Africa to this effort.

g_b Good Boys are Gud Boys?
Hi Guys, Past two days, I was thinking writing this mail... For past two days I am attending a training, and tomorrow too I have to attend the same training, under same trainer. And this guy (trainer) speaks english with an ascent. He mixes sounds of SH and S... And besides many of such mistakes, he also pronounce good as gud... Everytime he says "This is a good approach, and that is not a good approach..." I actually hear, "This is a gud approach and that is not a gud approach.." So, now I am so much influenced by him, just in two days, that... I started thinking, if ALL THE GOOD GUYS ARE GUD GUYS??? and THE NOT GOOD GUYS ARE NOT ACTUALLY GUD GUYS??? --- Reuse Paper by Both Sided Printing
