Are you a coward if you're gay and enter a marriage of convenience? Plus we talk to the director and cast of Pune Highway. And should a Pakistani wicket keeper be granted aslyum?
At 1- Are you a coward if you're gay and enter a marriage of convenience?
After a cursory look at some of the Asian gay websites in the UK, we've found that many gay and lesbian Asians are willing to have a marriage of convenience - marrying a man or woman to cover up their homosexuality. Some of them are openly posting adverts saying they are looking for partners, quite simply they want to fool their families into thinking they're straight. They are too scared to tell their families that they are gay. Do you feel sorry for Asians who are gay or lesbian, or is it just deceitful? Is it a cowardly thing to do?
After 2- we'll be talking to the director and cast members of the lastest stage play from Mumbai - Pune Highway.
Also- Pakistan wicket keeper Zulkarnain Haider says he will try and seek asylum here in the UK after being threatened by match fixers. Should he be granted asylum in the UK? Does he deserve it?
