The stigma

It is quite evident that Kerala, much like the rest of the country has still not acknowledged the fact that homosexuality is a reality.One can find any number of articles and advisory columns, even by quailified medical practitioners, telling that homosexuality is a psychological disorder that has to be treated and remedied.

It is worth noting that, a society that prides on false notions of equality and modernistic outlook, turns hypocritical when anything related to hmosexuality is mentioned.Infact, the Indian scociety and Keralites in particular, shuns any meaningful dicussion or analysis of sexuality as a whole, whether its is homo or hetro in nature. Of late, some national news channels have been telecasting programmes focussing on sexuality which is an encouraging sign.
