Gay India: The Elephant in the Room
India has a problem addressing all forms of sexuality. Extramarital affairs are commonplace, and though no one wants to say that sex happens before marriage, droves of teenage girls come home pregnant every day because they never received sex education. Homosexuality is demonized in the media and everyday discourse, and millions of people are forced into arranged heterosexual marriages while they clearly lust after something else.
Amused by an old woman jumping to conclusions in Dharamsala, Scott Carney at Trailing Technology points to media’s ignorance of the gay culture in India and their tendency to project homosexuality as something evil [hat tip: Shivam].
