Indian American Gay Couples Dealing with Stigmas

Even though the world has changed in the last 10 years, it’s still not easy for gay people. Especially when you get into other cultures and religions. 

This article examines what it’s like for Indian American gay couples who want Indian traditions in their lives, but it’s not always easy or possible. So they make do and they work around it. For one thing, they wanted a traditional Hindu wedding but they couldn’t find a priest who would do it. 

“We wanted a Hindu wedding, but so many pandits [priests] said no. I was agonised when one of them quoted an exorbitant amount just because I am gay!” said Sameer, who lives in North Carolina.

Here’s the rest. I think all gay people face similar issues with regard to most religions.
