Dont take me wrong. I am all for Same Sex Marriage etc. after all selecting a partner is individual choice. Perhaps its sign of changing time. In good(or bad) old days, it was so cool to look a bit filthy. We who grewup in the era of Sholay etc can vouch for it. It was rumored that theaters used special deodorant before Dharmendra came to Screen.
Now a days, . It seems that its cool to look feminine. I see guys on the road wearing earrings, growing long hairs, Grooming themselves in a beauty parlor. Few weeks back, I tried to impress a beautiful lady in the bus by giving her my seat. Imagine my confusion, when she instead of a sweet thankyou gave me "you sucker" smile. It took me two days to realize that she was a he. Thankfully, I am yet to see a guy in Bikinis. Now, how can we blame the ladies if they decide to chose the original specimen instead of going for a guy who is trying to look like a lady.
Today, I read a news from West Bengal about "Teen girls ‘marrying’ each other"
It was certainly love at first sight for 19-year-old Purnima Sarkar and 17-year-old Priya Chakraborty as they decided to marry eachother after 12 days affair.
The newspaper claims that Priya, the "groom", claimed that she was a man, with all accompanying biological features. Hmm.. Thats a interesting claim! This claim might have bowled out the poor villagers as the local women even tried to strip Priya to check her gender. I am not sure what their reaction was after the strip.
Purnima’s elder sister Aruna is convinced that Priya was a "magician" and "Nag Kanya" who had brainwashed her sister. Its a relief to know that now a days even snakes practice same sex marriage.
At the end it was left to the good offices of CPM to solve this issue. After all, they were the ones who found that Manmohan singh is actually a female. They found that Priya has a dubious reputation. She had on an earlier occasion duped another girl at Bankim Nagar. Gee.., Talk about unfaithfulness. But the good thing is Purnima neednot be afraid of unwanted pregnancy.

In a given set of people, the majority (say 80%) would usually do same kind of things i.e. follow a predefined stereotype. The remaining 20% will want to deviate from the regular average world and do things differently.
Interestingly these deviant 20% are the ones who perform all the innovations. Scientist who look like horrible animals but come up with theories which change the way we know our world forever. Artists and musicians whose works are remembered hundreds of years after they die. Incidentally, the deviant people deviate in all kinds of ways which include way of dressing and mannerisms.
In the earlier world, most of them were labeled witched or monsters and burnt at stake or maybe put in prison. The number of deviant people has more or less remained the same. But nowadays, the world is more tolerant towards the deviant. So more of them come out of their closet thus we see more of deviant people these day.
It has been seen that most of the famous artists were gays: Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare, Alexander, Julius Caesar, Elton John, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Ludwig van Beethoven, Lord Byron.., its an endless list.
We would see more innovation if we are more tolerant towards the deviant. As long as they don't harm other human beings deviants should be accepted by society.
