In India, being homosexual is back to being illegal — as in punishable with prison, which is why this fashion ad featuring a lesbian couple in a heavenly apartment has gone viral there.
Shared with tagline, “standing up for what you believe in is never easy. But the struggle is what makes the journey so beautiful,” Anouk Ethnic Wear’s “The Visit,” is the beautiful and pure story of two women who might be roommates getting ready together in an apartment filled with sunlight through sheer curtains flowing in the breeze. They share eyeliner and solicit advice on accessories until you realize they’re gay and about to come out to one of the woman’s parents.
I have to admit that I find Indian women beautiful, and the message in this ad even more so.
Imagine coming out to your parents in a land where your love is illegal.
Hopefully progress will soon reach India, which has had a complicated history with homosexuality, just like it is reaching into other places all over the world.

DeleteAre you waiting for the half black President to weigh in on Rachel Dolezal so you'll know what your opinion is supposed to be?
ReplyDeleteAre you off your meds, troll?
DeleteYeah, it appears the troll is off the meds! Fixated on a unimportant issue and what POTUS will say!!!
Delete7:05 AM we are waiting for U 2 STFU Sarah!
And you're off topic you idiot.
lol. 7:05, the truth always hits the IMers nerves.
DeleteI saw this last night ( a IM'r posted it) and although I am not gay I enjoy doing yoga and wearing ethnic clothing.
ReplyDeleteThis was very beautiful, and meditative...But I'm wondering PM Modi is going towards Hindi Fundamentalism with World Yoga day on June 21! I hope they can embrace this also b/c it is part of the culture, the "Human tribe" we all need to drop our petty little belief systems and embrace the Human tribe, whether black, white, red, straight, gay, transgenders, to save our Earth and grow create a world culture based on a blend of cultures where Fundy believe systems/prejudices melt away and a World Human tribe emerges for the greater good of all. No more killing and drilling and raping the earth.
I doubt if it will happen in my time...But some are evolving in a place called Damahur check out the sacred plants of Damahur

I know it's only an ad, but I find myself wishing them much luck and acceptance in their coming out.
ReplyDeleteLove the person. That's all. Not their religion, gender, financial status. Only who they are inside.

They are SO lovely. I forgot it WAS an ad.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely little story about love. People who can't accept that have ugly, hateful hearts. #stophatinglove
ReplyDeleteIf I'm remembering my Hindu theology, there are several gods who are either sexually ambiguous, or are represented by both male & female forms. Shiva/Parvati comes most immediately to mind.

Ok I get it. pleasure, sex, love. Love love love. IT IS A PERSONAL THINGY. it is not meant to be displayed on billboards in vegas and Hollywood. People must STOP this insistence of explotation of folks and their sex lifes. It is personal or it is a entertainment show in las vegas. Stop the BS

DeleteWhat beautiful words! “Standing up for what you believe in is never easy. But the struggle is what makes the journey so beautiful,” That wiki article was like watching a ping pong match, the laws seemed to change, but it seems like there's some small steps toward change.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Gryphen, India has some stunningly beautiful women. My mom's on hemodialysis and many of the techs are of Indian descent. The most caring, compassionate and respectful people, especially in their interactions with the elderly and ill. .
Sorry, but it didn't melt my heart. It appeared to be more "hot lesbian" propaganda crap that straight guys love to get off on.
ReplyDeleteWoot woot!! How kewl is this? I hope these two beautiful Indian women don't get someone so busy "exercising" that he forgets to allow this comment through, right Gryphen? This ad was both stupid and exploitative on so many levels.
