The name

Ther's a song called "Desi Girl" from a Bollywood movie called "Dostana" which is really popular. And though the moniker definitely comes from the song; it has most definitely been around since ages before that.
Dostana deals with the concept of homosexuality in commercial cinema. But sadly enough Bollywood always uses the concept for humor (humour in desi english). It has never been dealt with in the reality of the matter. The only other way Bollywood uses homosexuality is to titillate by depiction of girl-on-girl action. I still recall the promos of the ghastly "Girlfriend" movie with Ishaa Koppikar in it. Also there another one coming soon with Lisa Ray in it, though not a Bollywood production, it's from UK and its the same crap anyway. Eunuchs are also a source of humor in Indian Cinema (few exceptions being some movies which had great role from Paresh Rawal or Sadashiv Amrapurkar). I dont think the concept of Transgender will ever make it across for a few decades more in Des. Oh wait, Bobby Darling has kinda brought the concept through but her need for money has made her also succumb to the humor aspect of such roles.

Oh Well, I see I have totally digressed...but thats exactly what I started this blog for :-)
Delhi High Court and Supreme Court decriminalized sexual relations between persons of the same sex but that is not the same as legalizing the social relationship or legalizing their unions. Whats the point when someone who owns up to something like this will always ben made fun of, not just in real life but also in media of every form.
