Congress leaders are not worried about the borderline bigotted statement Azad made about homosexuals... they're pretty sure the BJP will say something even more outrageous
“Well, homosexuality is actually prevalent in 10% of most sexually dimorphic species, and well documented among mammals. Male dolphins regularly engage in homosexual behaviour, and female deer as well, to an extent greater than the average, simply because they herd differently and are heterosexual only during the mating season,” so Azad is just wrong opined former 8th standard student Thabish.
“As weird, offensive and mis-informed as Azad was, my gay friends are just placing bets on how a random BJP spokesman is bound to say something more offensive, more mis-informed, and definitely weirder. They’re offering 3 to 1 odds on the BJP gaffe coming in by Wednesday,” said AVX Shenoy Jr, president of TACCT.
Meanwhile, one gay person spoke to Mindry.in saying his world had changed forever. “Yes, before he said these things we were accepted in society and lived without prejudice. Now, I don’t know what’ll happen after a middling leader in UPA-2 has said this. Our lives will no longer be easy, since we will no longer fit in seamlessly with society. Wow, so..straight people get sarcasm right? Also, you should bathe, Sharath.”
For what it’s worth: Please, BJP leaders, go with “no comment” on this one. I know it’s too much to expect a sensible stance like “Consensual sex between adults is not the government’s purview. Sexual orientation of a tax-paying citizen is not our business. The fight against HIV is bigger than Ghulam Nabi Azad. Oh, yeah, and this is what the “liberals” get for voting the Congress into power.”
“I hope the gays of India realize they are in India. A western style pride parade in protest will accomplish nothing. If anything, it’ll alienate more potential supporters who’re also beginning to hate the government and the opposition. No, blocking traffic on roads will not help. They need to protest Indian-like. Block a few trains to Delhi, and demand a quota. If they do that consistently, then by 2040 they’ll have a quota, and be distinguished as a vote bank. There’s no need to be snooty and not go for the Oppressed and Backward label,” said a spokesman for a fringe political party on condition of anonymity.
Meanwhile, Rakesh, Mindry.in’s secret source and occasional contributor alleged that Ghulam Nabi Azad firmly believes that homosexuality was invented in America and that Bill Clinton himself invented oral sex in 1993, which was then imported to India post liberalization. There is no way we can independently confirm this hilarious allegation.
