Dear Madam/Sir
I would like to initiate a national level Queer Research and Documentation Center, the scope of the proposed Center on the one hand will be a concerted and comprehensive effort in archiving queer histories that enable theoretical and empirical research. On the other it is imagined as a move towards the direction of promoting, instilling and disseminating critical thinking and creative skills among the queer population.

I am desperately looking around for a seed grant that will enable me start off the research and documentation, if not for the entire project, at least for a small area with in the larger proposal.

A proposal for the Center is ready – and, if anyone can guide me where i can apply for fund support, i will be be greately obliged.

Sincerely
Shivaji K Panikkar
Baroda.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am a post graduate journalism student in London and will be doing an indepth research paper about the Gay/ Lesbian community in India. Along with doing my masters, I am also a freelancer for Al Jazeera English.

I am hoping to speak to one of the representatives from your organization regarding the work you do, the progess made over the few years with regard to Article 377. And also general sitgmas and difficulty’s faced by the minotiry group.

2008 saw the Gay/Lesbian community come out in full force across the country and put a face to the voice often not heard.

I look foward to hearing from you and taking this discussion further. Please do not hestitate to get in touch with me regarding any queries you may have.

Warm Regards
Neha Lall

Hi there,

I’m a UK journalist for The Gay Times, compiling a piece about representations of gay culture in Bollywood. I’d love to interview a rep from QMC if possible? Can you get in touch with me at sal@sallyhoward.net please?

Thanks,

Sally

FYI, an investigative report I’ve recently completed on the Gay Holocaust in Iran. Over 4000 innocent Iranian gays have been entrapped, brutally tortured and slaughtered to date. And it’s much worse now under Ahmadinejad.

Here’s the byline and link:

IRAN’S GAY-FRIENDLY EXTERMINATION PROGRAM

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269565

You remember President Ahmadinejad of Iran saying at Columbia U. that there are no gays in his country? He’s doing everything inhumanly possible to make that statement an insane reality. It is, in fact, a Gay Holocaust in Iran. And it is happening as we speak.

Please spread the word. The only way to stop this abomination is to bring it out of the shadows and into the harsh share of world public opinion. This brutal anti-gay pogrom in Iran offends every civilized sensibility I have, and I’m straight!

Use info as you see fit. Pirate at will.

Best, Johnny Simpson.

The Queer Media Awards is a great effort that has to be lauded. It is very important to recognize the media whichever is supportive of the LGBT community. However in India, the LGBT community needs to have a strong and powerful voice through its own medium such as magazines, newsletters and Television channels, a powerful LGBT Indian portal on the internet and local regional language publishers and TV channels.

This will create a big change in the country.

hello ruby,
nice to hear an issue which encircles lives of so many people who dont know what prospect they have in indian cultural scenario.

gay people can not open with their sexuality as it is still a taboo in india to talk about men who have sex with men.

centre for disease classification and prevention i.e. CDC ,usa has deleted homosexuality from psychological dosorder.

so we need to open our mind and talk of our choice in life.once fallen victim of marriage with a girl,will the person not spoil 3 lives and many more families.

so is the fear of hiv and aids harbouring while hurrying to satisfy the physical need ie unsafe sex practises where condom availability is absent and sexual gratification is needed as early as possible.if we talk of legalising gay relation we will put a safe groung for people to decide their choices and follow a hetero or homo relation.
all we are men in flesh and we need someone to care, may be a men or a women.why should be a compulsion to a man who is not comfertable with a women?
yes ,gay people needs rights within certain limit to play it safe and it shouldnt affect a multicultural indian society.
