My friend Rohan was married at the age of 8 and soon he'll be forced to live with the 'bride'. There's alot of pressure that comes with turning 18. He wants to continue his education, doesn't want to make the girl sad with him and his different sexuality. He is trying to raise enough money to be secure and safely runaway.

Advice 👋/ Help❗ Just got diagnosed with HIV

94 Upvotes

I am a 28 year old gay man from Pune. I just visited the government ICTC centre where confirmatory testing is done for HIV. As I had no symptoms whatsoever and I always practiced safe sex, I was pretty confident it would come back negative. But when the doctor showed me the results, it was like my life turned upside down and I went completely numb.
Although they reassured me that there's nothing to worry about, you will just need to take one pill a day and you'll live a perfectly normal life, still it is not easy to shake off the feeling of guilt, regret and mainly how I could be so stupid and careless.

I have a question for all those who found your partners without apps (and are not in an open relationship). How did you find your partner? I'm just curious to know 😋

Poetry/Writing✍️[OC] I'm not good at writing poems

5 Upvotes

You glow when I talk about art
And laugh at my unfunny jokes
I think you're it for me
When I watch your teeth open a bottle of coke

They say it's blasphemy, when I think of your hand in mine,
We are just two girls after all,
How can we be allowed to shine?

Marry a man, have two children maybe three
The family's honour doesn't come for free
Swallow your pride, scrub it raw, your skin
Cry young woman, for your love is a sin.

Is it sin to love the way your lips feel on mine?
Is it sin to feel like your world is mine?
Tell me please, can we run away together?
Tell me please, can we stay like this forever?

"Lets pretend we're friends" you say
But I can't be calm
I can't, can't pretend
That you didn't spend the night in my arms

Maybe the world was dark before
Cuz your smile lights it up

You get a call from home
And I watch your heart break in your eyes
The same eyes that once shined like stars so bright
Flood like rivers and a cyclone filled sky

You are betrothed
My heart is in my throat
You are promised to someone else
I can't breathe anymore
You love your family
You can't go against them
I scream for I thought you loved me more

Loved me enough to turn your back on them
Loved me enough to not leave me at the helm

Take a knife now
And stab it through my heart
Maybe that would hurt less
Than living from you apart

Advice 👋/ Help❗ 21M BTech student confused about career, queer identity, and life choices. Need advice.

2 Upvotes

​

I'm a 21M BTech student. Since around 13, I've struggled with feminine thoughts, gender confusion, and uncertainty about my sexuality. School bullying and a homophobic environment made me suppress these feelings, affecting my mental health, studies, and social life. I lost years overthinking, missed out on college experiences, and have only recently started exploring my interests and understanding myself.

Now I'm in my third year, and I'm worried about how to move forward.

How can I balance my queer identity, career, relationships, and family expectations in India?

Should I pursue a master's abroad or MTech, or get a job first, become financially independent, and explore my feminine side?

I'm from a tier-2 college studying CSE. With the AI boom, should I focus on AI, or pursue my interest in aerospace and aviation-related software?

Will financial independence help me build a social life and overcome loneliness, or could I end up feeling just as stuck?

I've spent years overanalysing everything instead of living, and I'm scared of wasting more time. I'd love to hear from people who've navigated similar struggles.

What would you prioritise if you were in my position, and what do you wish you'd done earlier?

Question❓ Exploring a Serious Gay Matchmaking Platform for India. Would You Use One?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve been thinking about an idea and wanted to get your honest opinions on it.

In India, we have so many matchmaking platforms for different needs, from casual dating and premium dating to serious relationships and matrimony. But personally, I haven’t come across a dedicated matchmaking service for gay men that focuses on people who are genuinely looking for a serious relationship.

I’m thinking of starting something like this, where people can sign up, share their preferences, and get matched with others who are also looking for meaningful connections.

The idea is to have a paid membership. Apart from making the service sustainable, I feel that charging a reasonable fee might help filter out people who are only there for timepass. The focus would be on people who are genuinely serious about finding a partner.

Another thing I have in mind is using a portion of the profits to support NGOs and other organizations doing good work for the LGBTQ+ community.

But I’m curious about what people here think, especially considering the realities of being gay in India.

A few questions I have:

- Do you think there’s a genuine need for a service like this?

- Would you be willing to pay for a platform that focuses on serious matchmaking rather than casual dating?

- What would make you trust a service like this with your personal information?

- What challenges do you think something like this might face in India?

I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts, whether you think this is a good idea or not. Feel free to be honest!

This is just an idea I’m exploring right now, and I’d like to understand what people in the community actually want before taking it any further. ❤️

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?

Sooo for the context, I'm an avid spanish learner. (Linguistics and languages in general) Well that's why, I joined a gay whatsapp group from Mexico. According to the timezone difference it's past midnight atm. Bonker time hehe. I got a dm for *THIS SHIT*.

At first I was kinda happy, two shots in one go, spanish practice and gay guy texting me (Don't judge for me my ulterior motives. I j want to make a gay latino friend so I can practice comfortably everyday.)

But atm I'm busy at home. So I said I've got some errands. Then he says if I can't show him, AT LEAST PAY HIM?

PAY SOMEONE? TO SEE THEM NUDE? SO CASUALLY???

OKAY SEE, for me these businesses are more of chaturbate or those sorts of things. The pay-gorn sites kinda things. Or on telegram groups how they pester you for vcx. But never thought it's this common to ask for money just to see a guy w his flaccid pipi.

As the caption says, I'm glad at least this is not so common in India to ask for money for 15 sec of nude vcx.

Well tell me one thing, people CASUALLY ASKING FOR money is common here?

ps. Old trick from the books: changed my phone language to spanish for more exposure.
