First Indo-Pak gay love story blooms on internet

SLAMABAD: There have been many heart-warming cross-LoC love stories, but this gay one takes the cake.

Hammad from Pakistan is in love with an Indian man, whose name he doesn’t want to disclose. He met the Indian on the internet.

He confides, “I am in love with an Indian man I met over the internet, but we have not met yet in person. We can’t think of marriage in either of the (conservative) countries.”
Hammad, who is studying accounting, plans to get a job abroad where he can settle down with his partner as man and spouse.

“My parents keep insisting that I get married or at least engaged. May be they have sensed my chill towards girls, but that is the way we are supposed to be. We are born this way… we can’t help it.”

Hammad has gone down the gay lane a bit too far, designing Pakistan’s first gay website, pakistangays.com. He runs the site, which had 569 Pakistani members last checked, from internet cafes for obvious reasons.
