(India) - Indian law makes same-sex love a crime, which is punishable by 10 years or even life imprisonment. ''It's crazy that society today affords you everything but the right to be yourself.

It has to do a lot of challenges. I call it the cutting edge of new social systems. Because gay men and women are going to evolve new social patterns. Why can't five different generations of men live under one roof?'' said Kavi, a gay rghts activist.
