 This came across the wires over the weekend and I thought it was worth a highlight here: On Sunday, three major Indian cities saw people gathering and marching for gay pride:
While small groups have marched in the eastern city of Calcutta in
recent years, Sunday's events were the first gay pride parades in
Bangalore and New Delhi. Several hundred people turned out at each of
the three events.
Many participants apparently wore rainbow-colored scarves around their faces so that they couldn't be identified. But some did speak to the press.
Homosexual sex is illegal in India. However, there is a current supreme court case challenging this law, which dates back to the British colonial regime; a decision is expected within days.

How do the Indians expect to curry favor with us mo's if homosex is illegal over there?
And, just to put this into perspective, they'll let a cow wander through the Taj Mahal but jail two guys for sucking dick in the privacy of their own home. (Not that the two guys don't suck dick anyway, for the backwards assholes in India who think that sucking dick between men should still be illegal).
