Vivek -
Are you saying that Celina does not have a moderator for her websites??
Possibly...she should speak to Salman or Shilpa...about the ups and downs of
being a public figure..

Celina Jaitly sent a message to the members of Celina calls for gay rights in
india.
Subject: A struggle with slight pain...
Dear members of CCGR,
Numerous intolerant and homophobic people have sent me abusive messages
regarding my gay rights activism and launch of Bombay Dost on various websites
including my own.
It does not deter me from my cause but it saddens me that people have so much
hatred not only towards sexual minorities but towards people who show them
support. It is so unfortunate that people have not stopped their hatred against
the gay community but have only learnt to mask it. My struggle has only just
begin and i thank all those who stand by me in this human rights human dignity
issue.
There are critics for everything a celebrity does so must I stop living and
listening to my heart ?
happy to do this for all my gay friends
Just stand by me.
Celina
