Aggression on Bed


I met one of my gay friends after a long time, almost six months. Last i met him in the month of december 08, when we had sex.

This time, when we met, there was something a miss. I still didnt ask him anything but then he told me, that last time, when we had sex he felt hurt. It was more of physical hurt. I was too harsh with him during the act.

Now i know this friend, since last four years and we do have sex off and on. But he never complained me such. He said that i bit him too hard, and he felt aggression in me which was not called for.

I was not able to understand, why he felt so. I was just normal. But then I thought again.. and again... I think he is right, there can be few reasons for being aggressive on bed.

1. I am not getting enough sex and which is making me aggressive.
2. I am hurt emotionally, and thats why i am showing aggression during sex.

I was not able to find any other reason apart from two mentioned above for my aggression. I think i really need to have sex often... so that i should not hurt people while having sex.

Moily signals rethink on anti-gay law

New Delhi: Even as the Delhi High Court is close to giving its verdict on a 19th century colonial law that treats homosexual activity as a crime, here’s a shot in the arm for gay
rights. In an interview to a television channel on Thursday, law minister Veerappa Moily indicated that the government may do a rethink on the controversial Section 377 of IPC
that criminalizes private consensual sex between adults of the same sex.

Moily admitted that some sections of the IPC are outdated and Section 377 may be one of them. TNN
‘Amending Section 377 will curb spread of HIV’

New Delhi: Those part of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) rights movement say a rethink by the government on Section 377 of IPC would be a big step forward. ‘‘It
will be the best thing for the national Aids control programme since efforts to curb the spread of HIV and AIDS will no longer be impeded by the law,’’ said Ashok Row Kavi,
consultant for UNAIDS and UNDP.

Moily’s statement comes at an interesting juncture as the high court has already finished hearing arguments on the petition filed by New Delhi-based non-profit group Naz

Foundation in 2001, seeking a reading down of section 377. While the health ministry had supported the petition, the home and law ministries were against it. If the law ministry
is indeed willing to do a rethink, experts say it has two options. It could submit before the court that it had changed its position and ask for hearings to be reopened.

Times View

This paper has supported the demand to abolish Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalizes homosexuality and carries a draconian sentence of up to 10 years.
Ironically, this colonial law that we inherited from the British has long been struck from their own law books. Legalities apart, a growing body of medical evidence suggests that
genes influence sexual preference. If that is so, how can homosexuality be considered ‘unnatural’? Regardless of whether it is nature or nurture that determines who is gay and who
is not, we believe it is a question of personal choice. We are happy that law minister Moily has indicated that the government may be willing to rethink the issue.

celina jaitley - latest gay friendly celebrity



I owe a BIG... BIG hug to Karan Johar. He did it with Dostana, which was almost impossible.

Today even the big fat aunties wrapped in silk sarees, with more than peek a boo of their big round tummies know that gay is not only "HAPPY".

I have seen, so many upmarket corporate guys, talking among themselves and making fun of one of their friends, saying " inka to bahut dostana hai".

So India has come its own word for GAY or HOMOSEXUAL.. DOSTANA... it is accepted by the indian society.

The latest celebrity to voice the Gay Issues is Celina Jetley.Check her blog on iTimes. I really appreciate her, standing for gay rights. Whenever any celebrity gets associated with any cause, it atleast gets publicity. That is what is happening regarding Gay Issues. I really liked the comment made by her.

"Hetrosexuality is not normal, it is only common"


I am also planning to study human rights, and work for Gay rights and human rights in general. Lets hope i can work for myself and my fellow gay people.








Teen detained for sodomizing, killing 6-yr-old

Dwaipayan Ghosh TNN

New Delhi: In yet another case of a minor being involved in a heinous crime, a 14-year-old boy has been detained for allegedly sodomizing and murdering a six-year-old. The shocking incident was reported from near the Inder weighing bridge off Sarai Kale Khan area on the banks of Yamuna.

According to the south-east district police, the accused, employed with a roadside hotel near the Sarai Kale Khan ISBT complex, had asked the sixyear-old victim to accompany him to the Yamuna banks off the DND flyway, on the pretext of collecting berries for him on Friday evening. The victim was the youngest among the four children of the hotel owner where the accused was presently employed.

‘‘The two boys reached a bush near Yamuna bank where the accused sodomized the six-yearold. When the victim threatened to spill the beans, the accused picked up a piece of cloth from the river bed and strangulated him. He then fled from the spot and joined the rescue parties looking for the boy,’’ said Shalini Singh, DCP, southeast.

According to chief investigator from the New Friends Colony police station, when the victim did not return to his house at Sunlight Colony on Friday night, his family members launched a massive search. ‘‘Initially, the victim’s father thought his son had drowned in the Yamuna and hence asked local boatsmen to look for him. Unable to find him, he lodged a kidnapping case on June 6 and the police recovered the victim’s mutilated body around 7 am on Sunday,’’ he told Times City.

‘‘Our teams visited the spot and the Sarai Kale Khan JJ clusters to investigate the case. The postmortem of the boy at AIIMS confirmed sodomy. We took some kids into confidence and finally detained the 14-year-old boy,’’ said DCP Singh.

Sources said a little girl revealed after she had asked the accused the whereabouts of the victim, he showed her the exact spot where the body was found. ‘‘He claimed he had divine powers to detect the movement of young children,’’ said a source. The police also came to know that the PCR call about the mutilated body was made by a weighing bridge owner at the instance of some ragpickers who in turn were informed of the body by the accused himself. ‘‘He confessed to the crime,’’ said Singh.

The accused was adopted by the victim’s father two years ago after he complained that his parents were ‘‘alcoholic’’ and ‘‘abused’’ him.

Delhi’s gay story, ch 2

The Delhi gay parade, after being a hit in its first edition last year, is going to be bigger and better in its second year

Delhi’s going to be happy, gay and proud of it again this year – the city’s second Queer pride March is all set to be held on June 28 this year. June 28 is the date of gay pride parades and marches all over the world because it is the date of the Stonewall riots in the USA back in 1969, when there was a spontaneous riot against persecution of homosexuals at the Stonewall Inn in New York City.

The march this year will start around 5.30 pm at the intersection of Barakhamba Road and Tolstoy Marg in CP, and will continue along Tolstoy Marg, ending at Jantar Mantar. Monish, a Queer Pride Committee member, says that they were expecting about 300-400 people last time, but at 1200, the turnout exceeded their expectations. “This time too, we’re expecting a huge turnout – around three times that of last year,” he says. He adds that, like last year, they’ll have a Pride party where fundraising will be done through individual financial contributions and volunteer support. The Delhi march coincides with that in Bangalore.

Gay rights activist Leslie Esteves, who organised the march last year, says, “Last time, because it all came through at the last minute, we didn’t have enough time to spread the word. But this time, we are prepared. And so, there’ll be people not only from Delhi, but also from other states in the North.”

Ponni, a queer feminist activist, says, “This year, the march has a little more significance for us as the most of the arguments for the legal case over Article 377 have ended and we’re waiting for the judgment to come, soon after the march takes place.”
