Hi,
I want to know if your councellors also provide councelling to a gay’s family and near ones who are affected like a girlfriend.
Also I am providing a link to this blog. I think this will be very useful for the gay community in India.

I dropped in at the Humsafar Center today, after almost nine years! And this is what I have to say:
“I was a regular visitor at the Center at the age of 20, almost 9 years ago. I was then exploring my sexuality, and here I met others who had the same sexual desires as mine, yearned to be socially accepted- first by their own parents and siblings. They were as eager as I, to read novels wherein a boy would meet a boy and live happily everafter, instead of the usual boy meets girl story. Photographs on the walls expressed gay love, two men in a romantic embrace or a kiss, which meant the world to us.
Visiting the Center after almost 9 years was like another Homecoming.
Though the environs and the crowd have changed drastically, here was the place where I had met my first boyfriend, and my feelings for him had grown into the pangs of pain that is first-love…
Here I had met another gay guy who would be my closest friend for the next 9 years.
This was the place that had made me feel confident about my sexuality, had helped me reclaim my life from all the self-hatred and guilt.
Why hadn’t I visited the Center in all these years? Why had I become content with a couple of friends in life? Why had I got stuck in my small world? Why wasn’t I able to do something for the Organization in return?
Questions galore. And I have no real answers.

Still the Center has a lot to offer me. Met two lovely people at the Center today and had a pleasant conversation. “
