There is woefully little anywhere on the internet, or otherwise on homosexuality in India, attitudes towards homosexuals and their current legal position etc. It remains something that is just not discussed at all. I think there is a significant need for some amount of concrete information either way on the situation in India. I realise that most of you are heterosexual Indian males who go to colleges in India, which I know are fairly homophobic. I can understand your apprehensions towards discussing an issue like this, but I ask that you look at it from the perspective of information creation, regardless of your own personal attitude or apprehensions regarding sexuality. The LGBT community in India exists, and is extremely marginalised. I think this collaboration might serve to provide more information about it, and help gay, lesbian Indians know more about their status, as well as help foreigners interested in Indian attitudes towards homosexuality.
