NEW DELHI (AFP) - A newspaper has published a mother's request for a groom for her son after three leading dailies refused, the first gay matrimonial advert published in India where homosexuality is illegal, the family said Wednesday.

Padma Iyer placed the advert for her rights activist son Harish in the matrimonial pages of Mid-Day, the largest selling tabloid in India's financial and entertainment capital Mumbai.

"Seeking 25-40, Well-placed, Animal-Loving, Vegetarian GROOM for my SON (36, 5'11") who works with an NGO, Caste No Bar (Though IYER Preferred)," read the advertisement published on Tuesday.

Thousands of adverts are carried in India's hugely popular newspaper matrimonial pages in a time-honoured tradition in which potential spouses are sought and vetted by families.

Take a guess..........

this shows that India Indians are ready to accept gays!!!

I thought Goddess of Mercy is a trans? Hindus should be open about it right?

I watched documentary and there are many sissy in India and people hire them to perform certain rituals at home especially if the home owners have new born babies.
