Being lesbian in India
Posted by apu on Nov 18, 2008 in Women & Feminism
While a dumb movie seems* to suggest that it’s ok to pretend to be gay and get the girl you love based on false premises, reality isn’t quite so entertaining. An article here on the tremendous challenges that lesbians in India face, including forced marriages, forced sex with men, and often, plain dismissal that their desires are valid or even that they exist.
* ’seems’ because I haven’t watched it, but reviews like this one are good enough to put me off Dostana.
