Andrew Solomon: Love, no matter what 
23:27 minutes · Filmed Apr 2013 · Posted Jun 2013 · TEDMED 2013

way (like a prodigy, or a differently abled kid, or a criminal)? In this 
quietly moving talk, writer Andrew Solomon shares what he learned from talking 
to dozens of parents -- asking them: What's the line between unconditional love 
and unconditional acceptance?

Uday

I am sorry to say "Grow up man".
Do you go to a physician and think yourself pervert asking him that you have 
rashes in groin area?

I am talking about checking the barber professionally.
He shaves, he do hair cut, he razes hair from underarm. Where is the rule that 
he can't razes pubic hair?

Have you not checked with your maid, who actually do Jhaadu Pauchha inside your 
flat only, if she / he can clean utensils for the day, because there is a cut 
in your finger?

First of all, it is not act of perversion but it is just a TABOO to ask such 
questions.
For me, it is as simple as asking some uncommon questions to strangers like "Is 
there any massage parlor nearby?" People may think it is act of Perversion, but 
I am just looking for body relax.
You are being judgmental (learnt use of this from English Vinglish).

Perversion would be, if I ask this question, and he agrees too, and then during 
the trimming I touch him here and there. And this was not my intention, as you 
can see my original mail.

The bad sex award goes to gay Indian men

By Ashley Tellis | Agency: DNA

One of the best kept secrets about gay life in India is that almost all gay sex 
here is lousy. I have to report that I have never had decent sex here, and I 
don't think I ever will. Apart from the fact that Indians in general are lousy 
at sex and have all sorts of weird hang-ups about it, gay sex here has a 
particular set of sicknesses associated with it. So, Indian men who want to and 
do have gay sex also have no qualms about being disgusted by it and doing it 
badly. Culture legitimises that.

Frequently, one comes across men online who will tell you that they don't kiss. 
They want to be sucked, they only want to f--- you and, increasingly, want to 
be rimmed too. They say this with no irony and no self-reflexivity whatsoever 
and actually get offended when you tell them to go find a dog or f--- a wall 
instead. Or when you tell them that something is wrong when they want you to 
lick their a--- but they won't lick your face. Or speak of how important 
kissing is to sex.

`Tops' (by which is meant the most pathetic imitation of missionary 
heterosexual positions) don't suck, of course. They only want to be sucked. 
This is a given. Men on websites call themselves `pure tops'. They are really 
anxious that you come nowhere near their a--- and, of course, are not 
interested at all in examining that anxiety. They expect bottoms not only to be 
submissive and meek but have no penises, no orgasms, no needs, no sexual 
desires other than to fulfil the desires of the tops.

Anal sex is a brutal affair and many of my gay friends have ruptured anuses, 
fissures, and damaged sphincters, and seem to take it as par for the course. 
High on alcohol, poppers, hash and other stuff, `bottoms' seem not to care 
about their own bodies, or indeed about sex as something pleasurable, gentle 
and meaningful. It is only about being stuffed and pounded and hence the need 
for all the external intoxicants.

Tops, once they come, rush to the bathroom to wash and then rush out of the 
house without so much as a by-your-leave, let alone a goodbye kiss. All of a 
sudden they are disgusted by what they have done and want the hell out. It is 
just a matter of "release", like they have pissed and now need to leave the 
pissoir.

I have recently begun seeing a man who calls himself gay, claims to be 
interested in an emotional relationship with a man, and is looking for a 
monogamous partner. This is the e-mail I had to send him after our first 
attempt at sex:

Dear middle-class Indian man,
Before we take our relationship further (if you want to), I want to state that 
you have to change as a lover and become more responsive and more attentive to 
the person you are in bed with and might be in a relationship with. Here's an 
indication of how selfish you were in bed:

You came thrice and did not bother to ask me if I came even once.
You did not ask me what I like or what I find pleasurable.
You did not rim me but wanted to f--- me (which any lover attentive to his 
lover's needs would do).
You did not suck my c--- or even offer to masturbate me if you are not used to 
sucking.
You did not kiss me enough, did not let me put my fingers in your mouth while I 
was sucking you.
You were only directed at your own needs — the need to get your c--- sucked, 
the need to f--- my a---.
Despite telling you that I am an anal virgin and you have to be slow and 
gentle, you were impatient, rough, thrusting and insensitive.

This is not the way to treat another human being in bed with you. The other 
person also has needs, desires, pleasures. You have to make an attempt to share 
bodies, and not just selfishly have your wa

To add to what has been said if one had watched the recent KBC in which Karan

With Student of the Year FINALLY about to hit the screens, Karan Johar take on 
sexuality - including his own sexuality - comes up again in this interview with 
Rishi Kapoor who, its been widely reported, plays the principal of the school 
who has feelings for the male PT instructor. Read the first two Q&As from 
today's Bombay Times: 


--

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/I-told-Karan-he-cannot-call-me-Chintu-uncle-Rishi-Kapoor/articleshow/16822402.cms

Q] A lot has been said about you playing a gay principal in SOTY. 


A] I wouldn't say he's gay... not the correct gender orientation. He's not 
married, is soft on the PT coach. It's a different take of what we have done. 
It is a very senstive approach with Karan's and my sensibilities 
and aesthetics. I don't want to sound like a crusader. While working in 
the film, I'd tell Karan, 'tum karke dikhao and I'll copy you'. So, in a way, 
I'm a copycat actor (laughs). Karan has helped me a lot and I 
enjoyed playing the part. It was a laugh riot on the sets. All of us 
would be in splits whenever we shot. 

Q] Other films that 
featured gay characters saw them become caricatures. After SOTY, do you 
think gays would be treated differently in films henceforth? 


A] Yes, the role is not a caricature in our film. Film characters depend on 
directors. In SOTY, it was a personal take by Karan, the director and 
Rishi, the actor. There's a hint of a feminine streak in the character 
and it's very subtle, not over the top. If it were over the top, I 
wouldn't have played the role. It's not an effeminate character. When 
you see the movie, you'll understand what I mean.

Back to me. What do people make of this? Its both there and not there: "I 
wouldn't say he's gay..." but then pretty much goes on to confirm it, and in 
the second answer essentially admits it by saying the role is not a caricature. 
And then there is the teasing reference to Karan who has been equally there and 
not there about admitting his sexuality - never saying he is, but never denying 
it and, in fact, pretty much allowing his friends and associates to say it. 
Remember all those jokes his guests would make on Koffee With Karan? And here's 
Rishi Kapoor saying that his 'gay' character was based on Karan! 


It is easy to get irritated by all this coyness. Why doesn't Karan just come 
out and say it, when everyone obviously knows it? And why can't the principal 
be clearly identified as gay? Karan's earlier films might have come before the 
377 verdict, so maybe coyness was to be expected, but now its after (thought 
still in the Supreme Court) and there's more openness and acceptance, 
particularly in anything to do with Bollywood. Sridevi's speech in support of 
the gay teacher in English Vinglish pretty much laid out what the mainstream 
Bollywood position on homosexuality is now. Karan could help even more by being 
open, and what does he have to lose, so why not just do it? 


But against this is what Kapoor says, and again I think he's speaking for Karan 
here: "I don't want to sound like a crusader." Because that isn't his job. 
Making feel good Bollywood blockbusters is his job and whatever one might feel 
about such films, they are a substantial reason why Bollywood exists (meaning 
such films in general, not just Karan's films). And coming out in a dramatic 
way and giving a gay rights speech does make him seem more like a crusader and 
it is just not a role he is comfortable with, so why should he do it. 


But what he can do is include gay characters in ways that show they are 
accepted quite readily by the Bollywood film world they are in and they are 
quite open, just short of actually using the gay label (and in Dostana they 
did, even if they weren't actually gay!) I think that's a fairly powerful thing 
to do, especially given that his films aren't small budget, limited viewing 
ones, but among the biggest and most hyped films of the year. Lakhs of people 
are going to see Rishi Kapoor do his 'gay' role from this Friday and will 
probably be left under no illusions about what he is and how the film has no 
problem with it. 


So I'm an unabashed supporter for what Karan does and I'm lookin

Subject: g_b Gay Labels: "Top-Bottom & Masculine-Feminine' - Prayatna Pune Meet
 

  
Hello All

We gays are often asked the question, "So who's the male & who's the female?" 
or "Are you top or bottom?"

This meet, we try to share our views & perceptions about this theme.


Are the tags top & bottom only sexual expressions or do they apply to other 
behavior too?

How important are these labels? Do you believe in labeling?

Do these labels change with time?

Do bottoms have to be sissy? Or do tops have to be macho or manly?

Are there more bottoms than tops?

Are only bottoms looking for relationships & tops wanting one night stands?

Is being top masculine & superior, or being bottom feminine &
 inferior?

Why are some gays more effeminate than others?

Why do few gays like to refer to self & others in the feminine pronoun & call 
each other sisters?

Why do they desire to have a mangalagaur or a haldi kunku ceremony?

Is this biological, psychological, both or neither ?


So many interesting questions …. we will try to understand them together.

Look forward to your presence at this Prayatna meet. 

See you at the venue below on Sunday Sept 16, 2012, from 4.30 to 8 pm.

Laxmi's crush  on Pooja Bedi ? Laxmi's ready to change her sexuality for Pooja 
Bedi ? 
Actress Pooja Bedi, who has been evicted from the Bigg Boss season 5 house this 
weekend, has revealed that her housemate Laxmi
Narayan Tripathi, who is a transgender, had developed a secret crush on
her. Laxmi even wanted to change her sexuality for the Bollywood star.

In an interview to the Times of India,Pooja Bedi spoke about her close bonding 
with Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, who was physically attracted towards her. 
"Interestingly, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, who is a transgender, was really close 
to me. She used to tell me that she was ready to change her sexuality for 
me,"the TOI quotes Pooja as saying.

 Bedi added, "In
fact, she would touch me and hug me like a man. Her voice would change
when she spoke to me and called me darling and it became rather macho.
I think it was really cute and lots of fun. 
These bonds with Laxmi, Sky, Juhi and Sunny will remain forever!"

However, Pooja Bedi had a nice time for eight weeks inside the Bigg Boss 5 
house. Earlier, she said that there was 80% fun and only 20% negativity
inside the house, but she was happy to be evicted as the negativity was
building up more in recent days in the house. She added that it was
right time for her to walk out of the house.

2011-05-02 Thread uday krishnan
Dear Friends,

I do not know how many of you are aware of this Colorful Festive Extravaganza 
that happens every year during the month of April/May at Trichur, the cultural 
head quarters of God's Own Country - Kerala.  It is an international tourist 
attraction, and gets a wide range of media coverage.

It is also a great time for the gay community when in the evening hours say 
from around 7pm, the grounds gets men from far and near, especially the 
national and the international crowd and then the cruising begins and there is 
a real great time for the gay men, who find, pick and enjoy a wide range of 
choices.  The spirit continues for almost four days as long the festive days 
remain, the preparation for this fire work extravaganza is almost through out 
the year, and it all culminates on these 3/4 days with lot of fun and frolic.  
It is a kind of competition between two temples to show who is more powerful 
and wealthier with all the rich and tradition customs, the elephants running to 
hundreds are well decorated and colorful umbrellas are rolled and rotated 
running to thousand and more different varieties

But the fun that the gay community gets here is amazing, you can find men from 
all parts and there are also lot of joints where they can have a quickie with 
no inhibitions, as it happens all around.  The rooms in the hotels are booked 
almost a year ahead, and men from the gay community wait and look forward for 
this even.

Come and join the fun and get the taste of the hairy, thick mooshed and 
charming mallu men whose below the belt statistics need not be talked about and 
more from across the country and world..

Re: g_b friend looted in dadar

2011-04-12 Thread uday krishnan
Hey there,

A friend of mine had a same problem at a small lodge very close to Calicut 
beach, in fact after having taken the full contents of the purse this guy went 
to black mail him and asked him to give the golden ring and chain he was 
wearing, he gave the ring but was very sentimental about the chain and refused, 
but when the guy started to put undue pressure, he retaliated, he picked the 
grit to throw out of the window the dress of the guy snatched back his 
belongings, and having done that he left the room, leaving the guy high and dry.

Sometimes we need to be street smart with such guys, and show them that on 
those issues also we can out perform them.regards...Krish.
