Being a doc I have seen many HIV Positive persons.They were forthcoming to tell their 'positive 'status.Among them I am sure some were homosexuals but none were bold enough to tell it. The stigma and discrimination against homosexual Hiv positive persons are much more than mere 'positive' persons. The sorry state of affairs now in India is MSM[male having sex with male] is the only group of high risk ppl in whom the incidence of HIV is steadily increasing.The reason is the thick veil of secrecy[fearing discrimination] behind this.Arun.N.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11255908292437790693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123689684509240568.post-66479062321118633022009-02-11T15:21:00.000+05:302009-02-11T15:21:00.000+05:30Why don't women go & slap Mutalik?

Like I said in my previous comment, their expressions and style is so exaggerated. I clearly remember this one gay guy who was a salesperson at this store, and the way he spoke was truly comical.He was trying to talk like a girl, infact I haven't seen any girls talk like the way he did. Why do you think they do that?Priyankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667344885898519767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123689684509240568.post-55402816749915040272009-02-10T20:10:00.000+05:302009-02-10T20:10:00.000+05:30Gays in the West are still fighting for equal righ...Gays in the West are still fighting for equal rights.I wonder how long that fight will last. Sometimes I wondered how I would react if my child one fine day comes to me and says "Mom, I'm gay". And I knew the answer instantly. Its Okay. Really Okay to be gay. We had gays even in the Kamasutra period. No Big deal!<BR/>I hope gay relationships are treated with equal respect some day.<BR/>BTW, there's just one thing that bothers me- Some Gay guys acting very femalish to let other people know that they are gay. Is that femalish style also something that they are born with?
