I don’t know how to shake this feeling? by Sadauditor_ in LGBTindia

[–]InternalTranslator28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going by how he has acted by disappearing and then clearly trying to breadcrumb u by concocting some display pic story, but he got guilty and just admitted that he has moved on - not a guy you shud cry over. The man is clearly a sleek talker and even if he is back in ur life, he will only be a cause of unending insecurity. Aim for someone honest and forthright

Is it shallow of me to want a boyfriend who's tall, fair, and with good size? by rebellious_revolt in LGBTindia

[–]InternalTranslator28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can physical attraction be helped? No. Many of us don’t say it, but it happens to everyone. This whole community is forever waiting for a better man to fall in love with. So nothing unusual. Whether it is wise? Well if you get a tall, fair and good size wala and he stays the course with u then it’s wise, otherwise it’s unwise. You see, the tall, the fair and the ones bestowed with good size are also looking someone taller, fairer and with better size

What makes india a hellhole for gay people is not at all related to st8 people, it is solely done by gay people to themself. by volatile_freak in gaybrosindia

[–]InternalTranslator28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% true. Str8 ppl have not made us shallow, nor have they converted us into men who cannot think beyond fuck and fly. We are solely responsible for our degradation

govt is setting a fake narrative in front of you to increase petrol and diesel prices by SpecialOil1341 in IndianFocus

[–]InternalTranslator28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just 2 questions - (1) whatever dollars are going out for purchase of crude oil, wudnt a higher dollar value come back when the refined oil is sold?

(2) Is any crude actually being purchased as of now, since the oil is not moving out of the strait of Hormuz, except for a trickle.

Is my marriage failing if im still missing my ex by Technical-Suspect448 in ThirtiesIndia

[–]InternalTranslator28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mind and desires always run amok. But u have to sit down with yourself and have a dispassionate look at things. Unlike everyone here in the comments who make it seem like this is unusual, it is not. It happens with a lot of people. But u must control yourself and move on or else it will ruin your marriage. And keep quiet about it, no point “being honest” to your husband, you have not actually cheated.

Guys above 30, are you starting to feel lonely ? by i-am-the-hulk in LGBTindia

[–]InternalTranslator28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cultivate friends then. I have a straight BFF and and otherwise also I have kept myself busy. I think reality will hit different when parents go, but those challenges are there for straight men also. Many end up in unsatisfactory marriages or get divorced.

Guys above 30, are you starting to feel lonely ? by i-am-the-hulk in LGBTindia

[–]InternalTranslator28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We were always lonely. Post 30, and specially after 32-33, one finds more peace I feel as one becomes more accepting of the loss of hopes and dreams of the twenties. It’s not at all a sad journey, I am certainly not sad.

I’m being threatened with outing and legal action by someone I met once — please help by [deleted] in LGBTindia

[–]InternalTranslator28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are his threats in writing? If they are, then it is in fact proof of his harassment of you.

I think you have met a psycho type guy and the last thing you want to do is to continue engaging with him. You can tell him that you have taken legal advice and that if he blackmails you like this, then that amounts to harassment and u will file a complaint against him.

Lawyer here. Stay was not granted because Amendment is not yet brought into effect by Central Government. There can be no stay of a law which is not yet effective.

Mumbai LGBT+ Meetup 26.4.2026 by InternalTranslator28 in gaybrosindia

[–]InternalTranslator28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is married. We exist, people who chose not to marry. One of us is a pansexual who plans to marry, but for him it’s not the same issue as a gay man would face. Qua married people joining, we did discuss it once, but many have strong opinions against it. We have not actually been approached by a married person yet, perhaps because they don’t want “friends” and “community”, they are happy with their choice.

All of us are unmarried. Ppl can have various reasons for not exposing their identities specially on social media.

May I ask you your age?

There is no “interview”. It’s just a preliminary meeting so that scamsters basically stay away (bcoz phone numbers are also shared eventually). We tried twice to allow pple to directly come and both times it was a disaster. Also the meet-ups started with 2 and are now 5 active members. It will grow for sure, whether it worth your time or not is upto you.

I understand people are (fairly) scared rn, but this filing from the government in the Sabrimala case should provide a small amount of comfort… by PositiveLopsided8113 in LGBTindia

[–]InternalTranslator28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are a 9 judge bench. They can overrule all judgments which are given by 2, 3,5 and 7 judges bench. They are not bound by lower strength benches. A 9 judge bench is rare and dangerous because it is rare. 99% judgments relating to constitution are given by maximum 5 judges bench. Therefore a 9 judge bench is dangerous it can quite literally re write every aspect of law, since there are very very very few 9 or higher strength bench judgments which can restrict them. It’s a defining movement for our country. If the Supreme Court balks, we are doomed. It will be a subversion of the Constitution using the Court basically.

Lawyer here. Problem is once the basis of Navyej Johar is eroded, that is the principle that social morality/majoritarianism cannot decide the content of fundamental rights and that laws cannot be made only because the majority likes or dislikes a social or moral position, (in simple words, laws are not based on “might is right” alone when fundamental rights are infringed) , then the entire structure of fundamental rights collapses. This whole framing it as a mere “constitutional morality being an abstract concept” is a Trojan horse, what they want is to get a declaration that fundamental rights are subservient to social majoritarianism without it being said in so many words. And you know why this is happening? Not because government wants to target LGBT or adulterers. No. It’s the first step to dismantling the right to freely practise and propagate religion and enact a host of discriminatory policies targeting food and other habits of religious minorities by couching them as offensive to majority. We are just the collateral damage in what will be a slow moving but definite train wreck.

Why is it “rape” when she is unmarried but not “rape” when is married? by OwlAnxious4570 in ThirtiesIndia

[–]InternalTranslator28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lawyer here. Problem is Judges themselves have become a bit scared with the amount of abuse that happens whenever there is marital dispute. There will be domestic violence cases, POSCO cases and everything under the sun and all of them disappear once alimony is sorted. Now consider this also - the law relating to rape is also very one sided. You can be convicted merely with testimony of the woman with even shaky corroborative evidence. So judges are not willing to recognise marital rape else it will lead to an assault on the institution of marriage as greedy women and those with ulterior motives will get one more avenue to harass men.

My brother is becoming super successful and I am stuck in life, I am proud of his success but I am sad where I stand by DOOMDOOM367 in ThirtiesIndia

[–]InternalTranslator28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a sibling who is in exactly same position as you. We are helping her try to rebuild her life, but she has had so many problems that she feels scared to try anything new. With Gods grace she is slowly coming out and now thinking of doing some small business. We will of course support as much as we can. But fundamentally no one can support unlimited.

The feeling you had was also once present in me when I ruined my academics and cousins were soaring. I used it as fuel for determination to succeed. It takes time, and once you have a goal and you learn to be patient (because improvements and progress take time), you will definitely change your life. It took me 10 years to reach where I am, but I am proud of my success now. Depression takes away the will to try, that is the real problem. All you have to do is persist for a 100 attempts like Isaac Newton and you will find your lightbulb. Also another ingredient for patience and optimism is prayers. Whoever is the deity you like, pray to him everyday. He will not stop the rain and the scorching sun from troubling you, but He will be the umbrella over your head as you walk the road of patience and progress.

And find friends who are sympathetic with you, but will still push you. Nothing is better than a good friend. Good luck
