Bigger Battles to fightBy: MN | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 18:26:32 PM Reply | Forward Mr. Singhal, I would rather have the politicians fight bigger and more apt battles like dowry, female infanticide, corruption, poverty, illiteracy, terrorism. Can you please do something about those? Seriously! Please do something about those! When did the primary agenda of a politician from a democratic country become policing the personal lifestyle choices of its people?

Burning issue of the day!!!By: Jayadevan | Tuesday , 18 Nov '08 11:45:04 AM Reply | Forward Singhalji, homophobia is a Western Christian disease which is found in the fundamental Christian sects in America and the Protestants in Africa. Surely, we are not with these uncultured Amrikis and Habshis? Homosexuality is not just sexual intercourse between people of the same sex, which is often resorted to by heterosexuals, too, for many reasons. It is a state of mind. Now, just the fact that I cannot understand it does not mean that I should condemn it. Why see something dirty in consensual sexual relationships between two adults? Why not concentrate your energies on the flesh trade in which thousands of non-consenting women and children in our country are sold and moved like cattle? Where a pre-pubescent girl is forced to entertain twenty customers in a day? A study in 1997 said there were only 5 lakh child prostitutes in India. Too small a problem, compared to the queers? Prostitution in Mumbai alone generates Rs.1500 crore in a year. Why disturb it? The GDP might go down!

We are not your enemiesBy: Jaster | Tuesday , 18 Nov '08 8:32:53 AM Reply | Forward yes...blame it all on the homosexuals...after all, the straight people have done such a great job at protecting the sanctity of marriage and upholding the standard of morals. However, for the anti-gay rights activist, let me ask you this simple question: How does me, a gay person, getting my deserved rights, affect you, a straight person, in any way? And why do you care either? Why do you think you have the rights to tell me who to love or how to love? Before you start protesting against anybody's rights, first educate yourself and learn that homosexuality has been a fabric of human societies since time immemorial. It's nothing new. Why, even in the natural world, there are lots of examples of animals engaging in gay sex. Such hatred towards homosexuality is borne out of complete ignorance.
