India's only openly gay prince publishing two gay magazines




India's only openly gay prince publishing two gay magazines


BHARUCH, India – The only openly gay prince in India, Rajpipla Manavendra Singh Gohil, is now the publisher of two gay-oriented magazines.


The prince introduced Fun, India’s first gay magazine aimed at gay men and straight women. He said the magazine will focus on gay fashion, high-tech gadgets, health and sexuality, and other issues relating to men who like men.


"Following the legalization of consensual sex between two adult men, I noticed that many departmental stores opened separate stores for gays," he told the Times of India. "In this atmosphere, I felt the need to have a magazine for gays."


Fun launched on July 26 at Goa with actress Celina Jaitley. The inaugural cover sported a shirtless photograph of upcoming model Rehan Khan.


The prince also publishes Bombay Dost, which he describes as a magazine about gay empowerment and HIV-related issues.


"As I am getting older, I want to give more time to writing on gay rights and lifestyle. Fun will give me the ideal opportunity."


The prince says he is working on a number of other projects, including an old people's home exclusively for gays and a hospice for AIDS patients straight and gay. 


Live Sample of Sideffects of section 377
This GAY Sodomised a DU student

Accused lured victim with a job in a massage parlour; also forced him to have oral sex

JOHN (name changed) is among thousands of students in Delhi who work part-time to fund their education and stay in the city. But what happened with this 21-year-old first-year student of  Delhi University's Maharaja Agrasen College would send shock waves down the spine of his ilk.






ANIMAL INSTINCT:

John, a native of Manipur, got admitted to BA (Regular) course in the college and was putting up at a P G in south Delhi's Kotla Mubarakpur. He was looking for a job and came in contact with a person called Manoj near Gurdwara Kotla Mubarakpur. Manoj told him that he could get him a job as a masseur in a parlour in south Delhi. He also introduced him to his friend Sameer.

"Manoj told John the job would suit him as he could earn good money by working part-time as a masseur. He was told that he would be paid per massage session and the more he would work the more he could earn," a police officer told MiD DAY.

On Monday, Manoj called up John and told him that he has a client and the student could earn at least Rs 500 for the massage session.

"Both the accused called the victim at their house on the pretext of introducing him to a client. They told John that after the massage the client would pay him Rs 500. But when John reached there he could not find any client. Only Manoj and Sameer were present there.

They asked John to remove his clothes and when he (John) refused, they brutally beat him up and tore off his clothes. They then took turns to sodomise him and also forced him to have oral sex with them," the police officer explained.

A shocked and battered John approached the police and an FIR was registered under sections 377/342 of the IPC at Kotla Mubarakpur police station.

"Sameer was caught from the house where they sodomised the victim on Tuesday. Manoj is on the run. We are conducting raids to nab him too," said a senior police officer.

The officer said John was taken to AIIMS for a medical examination. Sodomy was confirmed in the test. Police said Sameer owns a massage parlour in the Kotla Mubarakpur area.

PAST HORRORS
* An 11-year-old class VII student who came to the national capital for studying was sodomised and robbed of his pocket money allegedly by his two classmates in July this year. The shocking incident occurred at a government school in Ambedkar Nagar area in southeast Delhi. Kunal (name changed), a student of standard VII at Government Senior Secondary School (no.2), was taken to the second floor of the school building by his two classmates after school got over. There they allegedly beat him and robbed him of Rs 20. They later sodomised him and threatened him of dire consequences if he were to reveal anything. Kunal, however, went to the school principal to complain about the assault.

* Clerics at a North Delhi madrasa allegedly sodomised four students for two months before the victims managed to escape. The boys escaped from the Madrasa Tehfizul Kuraan on Roshanara Road on March 26, 2010 and boarded a local train to Ghaziabad. The four children were noticed by a local journalist, who offered them food and brought them to his house.

* A 17-year-old boy was allegedly sodomised by a Delhi police official in December 2008. An FIR has been registered under section 377 of the IPC against the policeman. The incident reportedly took place near Kashmiri Gate in old Delhi. The boy was taken to a local hospital where doctors confirmed sodomy.

* Five boys aged between six and eight were sodomised by a 50-year-old man at a childcare centre in west Delhi for many weeks before the attacks came to light after one of the victims told his family about the incidents in May 2007.

* A Sikkim police constable guarding the Dena Bank treasury at Daryaganj in central Delhi went berserk in March 2007, killing five of his mates after they allegedly tried to sodomise him while on night duty.

* The police received a call at 4.52 am from constable Nari Lepcha, one of the guards deployed at the treasury, that his five colleagues had been murdered. After racking their brains for almost 12 hours, the police realised that it was Lepcha himself who had brutally murdered all of them.

* After hours of questioning, Lepcha admitted that he killed his fellow guards because they tried to sexually assault him after consuming alcohol. The five victims were identified as Lance Naik Kumar Basnett, Lance Naik Bishal Tiwari and constables Laxman Subba, Karma Bhutia and Santabir Tamang.

* Lepcha told the police that all five victims had drunk through the night. Tiwari, he said, tried to get physical with him which he resisted. The others apparently helped Tiwari. According to Lepcha, he grabbed his SLR rifle and started firing at them indiscriminately. He apparently fired 10 shots. Each of the victims received at least one bullet injury.



Gay Azadi march in Mumbai Postponed ???


Mumbai:  There's bad news for the queer community. The annual Queer Azadi gay pride parade that is organised post Independence Day every year, won't happen this year, because organisers fear the march will disrupt traffic.


Said Vikram Doctor, founder, Gay Bombay, "For the past two years, August 16 fell on a weekend. However, this year it's on a weekday (Monday) when traffic is heavy. And the weather isn't right."


Gathering a crowd on a Monday would also be difficult, according to Doctor. "Most people are working."


However, the queer community feels that changing the date would give their cause the appearance of being diluted. "We didn't organise the march just to gather a big crowd. Our main purpose was to highlight the injustice that the community is being subjected to. By postponing the date, we will appear weak," said a gay activist.


A lesbian activist said, "This is absolutely wrong. The weather was erratic last year too, but people did come. I feel let down by the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) community's leaders."
