It’s as prevalent as it is in any other culture. Homosexuality is part of human sexuality and can be found where humans can be found. From what I’ve heard from my South Asian friends, Indian culture is particularly hard on homosexuals. For example, the movie ‘Fire,’ a love story between two Indian women, was banned in India, I believe. But that doesn’t mean there are fewer gay people in India. It might make them less likely to come out publicly, though. I know from friends that it can be very difficult for second-generation South Asian-American gays and lesbians to come out to their families – but that can be true for people with parents from other cultures, too. If you’re interested in learning more about being gay and Indian, you might want to rent ‘Fire’ or see if you can find a copy of Nisha Ganatra’s ‘Chutney Popcorn’ – a movie about a lesbian who is South Asian-American and her family.
