Desi ("Bong") gay man, still not used to being away from frenetic Bombay, but here I am in the U.S. Midwest in Soul City. Closet-talk = Confessions, Confusion, Connotations, Conundrums, ...

Maa da laadla bigad gaya (Mom, your son's become... spoilt?!) :)
So, I'm supposed to see K.Jo's new movie Dostana with Stephen when he hits New York City later this year. While the movie's been much-hyped about being the first gay Indian movie yadayadayada, to tell you the truth, I've kind-of thought the promos looked a bit... well,... homophobic. The usual stuff about "haha, laugh at the pansy gay guy!" crap. And that's felt weird, what with me being a long-time fan of K.Jo, even before his Koffee With Karan days - which was a fag-ulous show, by the way!
But then, I get an email this morning from SnowWhite's Stepmom with the lyrics of Dostana's newly released song. And no, even though my knowledge of Punjabi is terribly rusty as best (and non-existant at worst), I didn't need to really know the language very well to understand that this is K.Jo at his tongue-and-cheek best! :)
So, yes, I really, AM looking forward to NYC movie-time with Stephen in December now!
And, in more serious news, this was MSNBC anchor Keith Albermann's emotional reaction to Proposition 8 last week...
Nice, Keith... but perhaps a bit too late?
