Gud, specially considering the (so-called)sensitive nature of the subject u have chosen to write. <br />Second, coming to my own opinion, they do need some kind of support, not sympathy. This despite the fact that I do not like them too much.<br />Third, you have pretty compassionate and objective too about the third gender. Keep it up yaar :)Eskayemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149484250123965640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816310588927287952.post-75777732232855582022010-04-16T10:47:44.775-07:002010-04-16T10:47:44.775-07:00Hindi films are opening up to more bold issues.Hindi films are opening up to more bold issues.Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573906991666088642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816310588927287952.post-22510175706251545302010-04-05T10:07:13.516-07:002010-04-05T10:07:13.516-07:00I do not intent to make a point that reservation i...I do not intent to make a point that reservation is the solution, it is rather a tool of empowerment.A homophobic society cannot shed all its fears overnight..there has to be some sort of initiation at some level.<br />I haven't slot gays only in the view of sexuality, because had this been the case I would have stopped at rejoicing the judgement of Decriminalization of Homosexuality. I try to stir the argument further by bringing in the idea of political power. <br />political power ensures that one has access to civil rights and not just sexual freedom.Swati Rathorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17555627314486556737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816310588927287952.post-33256483139942399352010-04-05T08:40:24.963-07:002010-04-05T08:40:24.963-07:00some observations...
1) you are talking only about...some observations...<br />1) you are talking only about gay men in the article.<br />2) And I think this is a trap that most of us "straight" people fall into. It is connecting the identity of gay men and women solely with their sexuality. We think of them only on the grounds of their sexual preference when their identity is multifarious just like others'. So in such a case, your argument about reservation to LGBT, though made with an intention to give them political representation, again slots them and views them in the light of their sexuality and nothing else. The problem is deeply entrenched into the minds of the people of this homophobic country but reservation cannot be the only answer.Deepti Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316406130255906994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816310588927287952.post-31118771525605367072010-04-05T01:44:58.940-07:002010-04-05T01:44:58.940-07:00yeah!!!

That was a thought provoking read, if women, and men (in the name of SCs, STs, OBCs, PHs, Exs,) why not LGBT get a reservation .... that was a good point to raise, <br /><br />but let me be more sarcastic here (No offense meant), after a while , the country would surely need to review its reservation policy and 5% of reservation would be allotted to Merit in the long runThe Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07891966342616017628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816310588927287952.post-43116966965180529192010-04-04T09:27:39.414-07:002010-04-04T09:27:39.414-07:00Two things i wud like to highlight

Reservations: Can anyone tell me what is the percentage of general male candidates in the country? Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /><br />Well jokes apart. This was a good read and I support some sort of legislation's for LGBTs but for godsake dont break the very backbone of merit in this country.<br /><br />P.S.
