Now ok somber business people! I have a serious question to ask. When all of these ‘abnormal’ stuff can be adept in India without any shilly-shallying then why not marriage to food?

OK, not too serious, but come on, why can’t I get married to food? I mean food is undeniably scrumptiously, exotic and sexy in presentation and just too tempting, and let me tell you I can be married to food eternally. Our relationship will last forever. Unlike a human, food won’t ever deceive me, food won’t ever make me feel small, and food will actually make me full! Marrying food should be legal; the world would become such a better place to exist in!

“Twinkle weds Pizza”.
Ah! That sounds exceptionally amazing.

Ok now I swear I won’t pull out any other twaddle of mine.  It’s time for some seriously serious stuff now.

Tell me people why can’t anyone in India get married to his/her same sex?

India can accept the third gender, very well known as Hijras, but why is marriage between same sexes a taboo in the society? Even historical literary evidence indicates that homosexuality has been prevalent in India and that homosexuals were not necessarily considered to be inferior in any way. Numerous deities have been considered patrons of third-sex or homoerotically-inclined people. Some medieval Hindu temples and artifacts openly depict both male homosexuality and lesbianism within their carvings. There are Hindu deities who are intersex (both male and female); who manifest in all three genders; who switch from male to female or from female to male; male deities with female moods and female deities with male moods; deities born from two males or from two females; deities born from a single male or single female; deities who avoid the opposite sex; deities with principal companions of the same sex and so on.

Often people say “Homosexuality is against Indian culture, against nature and against science”. What’s funny is that homosexuality in India has been accepted within Indian culture for thousands of years.

Same sex marriage is not a crime. Every single person-lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender deserves to be treated equally in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of our society. Marriage is about love not gender.
