Family pressure keeps Indian gays in closet
On a quiet Friday night two years ago, Sonia (not her real name) left her husband of ten-plus-years for good. She then drove to a Bay Area nightclub and, five minutes later, left with a woman. (Go Sonia!) "For years, I had driven by this club on my way to work and always wondered what it was like inside. That night, I went in, got a girl and left," she said. She's also come out as a lesbian to her Indian family. "Don't use my real name or anything that will identify me," she said. It apparently isn't easy being first generation Indian American and gay.
