In the early period of my bloghopping I wasn't bound by any image in blogworld; I felt free to post whatever I wanted. But over the last one year that I have blogged, I have probably veered away from topics considered taboo in Indian society. Then there were these posts by GB and Pri on Pridefests held in Brighton and Denver respectively; I thought twice about linking them, as to whether it would be 'appropriate' on my blog (LOL, goes to show how even in 'anonymous' blogworld, one can be straight-jacketed - pun unintended - by a perceived image).
What finally pushed me to posting these links was a hypothetical question somebody put to GB:
[...] She then placed a hypothetical question, the answer to which I realized I don't know- IF you were gay, would your parents disown you? [...]
GB - Pride and Prejudice
Pri - I'm so making this an annual event
I am not sure how I would react if my children were LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender). While I may not disown them, I would still be 'troubled' by that fact. I haven't yet moved out of my mindset. Time for introspection and coming to terms?
