"Gay in India?"




"Gay in India?"

We walked by the Taj Hotel. We were offered to be white for pay by a Bollywood casting dude. This is common. No, we couldn’t afford to stay there. We just hung out in the lobby, as our western selves craved a no honk zone.

The casting dude simply could not believe that we were gay or that India had anyone gay in it. (Me: “You’ve got 1 billion people?” Him: “Yes.” Me: “You’ve got gays.”) Didn’t he check out the outfits on the star of Love Story 2050?
