The GB Special Meet on Gay Relationships

“My boyfriend sleeps with his wife during the week and with me during the weekend. I don’t care what people think as long as I am happy.”

“I know my boyfriend will get married someday. So what! It will be a great triangle.”

“I have had 6 relationships in the last 3 years. I not cut out for long-term relationships – only relationship with long…”

“I am in a relationship with a man for the last 25 years. Besides me, he sleeps only with the pillow.”

“Is our relationship monogamous or polygamous? How does that matter to someone? The fact is, we have really worked hard to keep our relationship ticking for the last 15 years. It will be an insult to judge our commitment with sex.”

“I have two boyfriends for the last 5 years. I am on a lookout for the third one.”

“If you are not comfortable with my married boyfriend – that’s your problem. I don’t want your acceptance, I pity your shallowness.”

“The moment I say I am in an open relationship. My 10 years of sacrifice, understanding, efforts… have zero significance. Don’t put sex on a pedestal, there is a lot more in a relationship. Get a life!”

“They say there are no genuine bisexuals. I am one. And I am better off than so-called monogamous couples who are tri-sexuals (trying to have sex with anybody and everybody).”

As you see, this GB Relationship Meet is definitely not for the faint-hearted. And it’s surely not going to be plain vanilla. Get ready to witness all kinds of gay relationships. Long, short, long-distance and whatnot. Get ready for arguments, debates & mud-slugging. Get ready to remove your judgmental gear.

The meet will be co-anchored by one of the founders of Gay Bombay who has been in a relationship for the last 10 years.

Meet details:

Date: 13th Dec, 2009

Place: The HUB

Address: The Hub, 4th Floor, Candelar Building, 26 St. John Baptist Road, Near Mount Mary Steps, Bandra (W), Mumbai 400 050, India.

Time: 4pm – 7pm

How To Get There:

- If you’re coming from Hill Road, Bandra (W) : Go down Hill Road and take the regular left until you come to Mehboob Studio’s junction. At this point you can follow the road most cars will take on the left, but when you come to the end, facing the Church, turn left and keep going down that road, past Saltwater Cafe on your left and Barista on your right, don’t turn right, just go straight ahead and you’ll come to a small maidan in front of Mt.Mary Steps. Look for Dilshad’s Salon just before you reach the maidan and The Hub is in that building.

- OR if you want to take a short cut, at the Mehboob Studios junction, take Peter Dias Road, which is the the last turn to the left before going up Mt.Mary (do NOT go up Mt.Mary) and go till the end, when you’ll come to the maidan, and at the start of the road to right, you’ll see Dilshad’s Salon.

- if you’re coming from town, or the highway, get on the Bandra Reclamation (if you’re coming via the SeaLink, you exit here anyway) and get to Lilawati Hospital. Turn inside and, in front of Mumbai Educational Trust, turn left. You’ll come to Saltwater Cafe on your left and Barista on your right. Don’t turn right here, just go straight ahead and you’ll come to a small maidan in front of Mt.Mary Steps. Look for Dilshad’s Salon just before you reach the maidan and The Hub is in that building.

- if you’re coming by train you can take the Hill Road route, but on Sunday it would be better to avoid this and turn left onto the flyover and reach Reclamation from there.
