LATEST ON THE BANGLADESHI GAY SCENE The underground gay scene is really and truly thriving. Guys are still depending hugely on mobile, wap and internet communication in getting connected. With the government's aim to ternsform Bangladesh as digital Bangladesh by the year 2023, getting connected through degital means of communications, has never been easier. It was also amazing and pleasing to see the changes coming our in modern young gay men. Nowdays many guys are almost out, they are not shy to talk openly about their sexuality. Rather then sex, size and role, they are talking more about relationships, and woderful places to live gay life style. One guy tells me his streight friends views are very understanding and tolarant twoards the gay community, whenever they are talking about the taboo subject. Other seems to agree with him. Clearly the change in our preception, attitiude and understanding of homosexuality is evident. Yet we have a long way to go to demand and ask for a place in the society. One thing for sure we have started to accept and identify with our sexuality, and thats a grate news. As the benGAYliz picnicday out is proof enough it's self. Finding out so much about the bangladeshi gay guys has always been so important for me. Mainly so I can share with my benGAYliz site members and users. Which is sure to influence and benefit other Bangladeshi gay guys across the world. So I was amazed and pleasently surprised, when my friends in sylhet (few of wich I only recently met)agreed and responded very positively in organising and putting together a benGAYliz picnicday out in Madhabkunda. Thanks to Shumon, Sadiq Vi particularly. Whithout their support and help the wouldnt have been as successful. | INDIA THE NEXT BEST GAY TOURIST DESTINATION With the homosexuality just been legalised in India(or not, as the courts still debates the indefinity of homosexuality being ligalised in India).
