Pushkin Chandra's father speaks out
Murdered U.S. Embassy official Pushkin Chandra's father has a few things to tell India's society. "If a man is gay, society may not like it. But no one has a right to murder him," says Anil Chandra. "No one wants to be a gay by choice. If God has made you so, what can you do? Pushkin was an intelligent boy who had made his choices clear to us. When the question of marriage cropped up, he said, 'Do you want me to spoil some girl's life? If you want I can marry, but it would do no good.' If we did not have any problem with his being gay, what right has the society to meddle?" Two men have been arrested in the murder of Chandra and his partner.
