Seems Michael Rose is expanding his horizons.

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

Holy smoke that woman on the right is HOT.

The fundamentalists see this as an affront to Indian culture.

Welcome to our world.

What bothers Shah and other gay and lesbian activists is that (in Shah’s words) "values of heterosexual love, marriage and normal families" are upheld in the end.

That's a wrap!

Hmmm
I thought Hinduism was tolerant of gays.guess the libs got that one wrong too.(S\

"We’re going to push the government to order the deletion of objectionable scenes in the film," Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, the vice-president of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya party, told the Associated Press. "Shots which are against Indian culture should be removed."

Shiv Sena, a Hindu fringe group often referred to as India’s morals brigade, have long charged that western TV shows and films are corrupting Indian minds. They believe Razdan has imported decadent Western morals with his Girlfriend.

The Bharatiya party is IIRC the same as the BJP, recently voted out of power.

This goes to show that the problems associated with religion are typically caused by fanatics and not endemic to any specific faith.

Those two hot chicks aren't lesbians. They only play lesbians on TV/movies.

These are real life lesbians:

And they don't even look Cherokee

There are open butt cowboy and rug muncher groups in India? Things are worse than I thought.

Somehow I thought India was still a place where that wouldn't be allowed.

Trashy films international.

I don't know about Indian lesbian flicks, but the last time I ate at an Indian restaurant, I nearly went crazy from the music videos that were playing constantly. Holy cow (no offense intended), the prisoners at Abu Ghraib don't even begin to know what torture is until they've listened to that stuff.

[AmishDude]

Ping.

BYOP

Sounds like some American movies of the 50's and 60's. There was one starring Sandy Dennis, same theme (two women together then a man enters the picture to cause confusion.) You wouldn't see that theme in modern-day Hollywood.

[valkyrieanne]

What an honor to have one's film hated by everyone.

[tortoise]

One thing that goes without saying, those girls are gorgeous. And lesbian. Oh my...

Homosexual Agenda Ping - More from the Culture War. This is a more detailed article about the female homosexual film causing a ruckus in India.

Note how every time the objecting Hindu groups are mentioned, the use of the obligatory word "fringe". I don't think it's because of few numbers, it's just that world wide those who adhere or promote moral absolutes are being sidelined and painted as extremists.

Also noteworthy is that the "gay" activists in India don't like the movie since it doesn't pander to the normalization of homosexuality - one of the women goes mad and apparently dies, the other one gets married. Can't have that! I hope the "gay rights" movement dies a sudden death in India. It's the last thing Asia needs.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Emotional perversion exhibited through sex knows no racial or gender boundaries. It's a universal life style CHOICE!

[Annie03]

Oh - an accurate portrayal! No wonder everyone (especially the GLT types) hate it! I have known (and liked) people of this "persuasion" many times in my life. They would have us think their way is better or normal. It is not, it is sad.
