Question no 2 – This one from Uffe Elbaek
April 6, 2008
“What are the living conditions for homosexuals in India. Socially, culturally and politically?”
The sours of this information I’ve got from the fashion designers I’m working whit here.
The situation for gay people in India is very different from what part to part of the country.
Mumbai has the reputation to be one of the most liberate state in this question, jet its miles away from Scandinavia both Socially, culturally and politically.
In Goa for example, its legal to get married as a homosexual couple. Here in Mumbai, like the biggest part of India its still illegal o get married.
In the political sector they don’t prioritise to discuss this situations, whiter or not to legalise homosexual marriage.
The situation is a bit more complex than that thou.
The lack of knowledge, compassion and the fear of development by the pupil in India is the biggest problem, the way I and the persons I’ve discussed this question whit see it.
In the culturally sector the situation is more human. Here homosexuality is something that are very tolerated comparing to other the two other sectors. Its noting unknown or freighting. It’s the way it suppose to be according to me, because love is beautiful in all forms!
Socially the living conditions are very challenging for homosexuals, in my easy even for heterosexual couples as well.
They don’t show love open in India the way we do in the west, no holding hands, no kissing, in public.
However, in my eyes, the situation for homosexuals are unfair and very challenging and without a discussion about it I think they have a long way to walk before they even could think about being a new and world leading state in the world, as they so hard try to be right now
