More seriously though, the media attention that the movement is more tangible than ever. Here are instances that I found yesterday.
- Today TOI had an editorial article One for Ramadoss which strongly supported Health Minister Ramadoss's statements to decriminalize homosexuality.
- Today's Mid-Day also had an article 'One night at a gay gala' about how gay friendly the party scene is becoming citing the Salvation Star parties as events which the straight community were dying to participate in.
- Mid-Day's internet portal had a poll about legalizing gay marriage. I was totally surprised to see that the voting results (at the time that I voted) were in favor for it!
- Mutiny.in, a popular community blog went to print for the first time earlier this month. In the first edition itself, there were a couple of very good gay friendly articles written by my internet-acquaintance Sanjukta. Here is the link to the entire magazine. The two articles are titled 'Stand Up For Yourself' and 'Coming Out'.

Nice links .... when did this happen??? Did I sleep a little extra and woke up in 2049 A.D.??
Aha! That's good to hear!
I don't expect any actual changes on ground, though. That's asking for far too much from the common people... far too much.
@ Ramby: Yeah, even I am quite surprised.
@ Unsungpsalm: Change might well be on it's way!
hmmm,me being from chennai is really capable of doing that...whats her addy kris? :)
Well, she lives somewhere in Shenoy Nagar. I used to know the address and the way to reach there. But then, it's over 3 years!

@ Just Hooking Up: I watched almost the entire program. It was incredi-cool! Thanks for the link!
@ Rakesh: The Desi-granma thing? I wanted to blog about it.
Well, you should blog about it. The more people talk about it, the more awareness it spreads. :)
@ Rakesh: You must have meant abou the grandma? I think I will get around to doing it!
Cheers!
