Since we don't make parents happy with our marriage, we feel OBLIGED to please them in every other way. One is almost emotionally blackmailed in exchange for the freedom of being gay. This Sunday we shall discuss the various aspects of obligations and how some of us deal with them.

The GayBombay Special Sunday Meet : Obligations

Date: Sunday, February 20, 2005

Time: 5:00PM - 6:00PM IST(GMT+05:30)

The Meet begins at 5:00 p.m. and continues for an hour at the restaurant. We may then move on to another venue close by for an informal chat.

Venue : We meet as usual at Just Around The Corner (JATC). JATC is a lovely snack bar at Bandra (West).

At Bandra Station, on the WEST side, take a rickshaw to Turner Road; at Turner Road take a right at Tawaa Restaurant (you will see an ICICI Bank on your left after the turn). Keep going straight for about two minutes; you will see the big blue signboard of  'JUST AROUND THE CORNER' on the left.

If you are however coming from Linking Road, take the very next left turn from the first petrol pump, leading to the Flying Machine Store. On driving down the crossing of two lanes you shall see a huge blue coloured board with "JUST AROUND THE CORNER" written onto it.

You can also take a bus going down Turner Road (Khar Station bus or Chumm Village bus). Get off near Tawaa Restaurant and walk to JATC in 5 minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note :
1. Ensure that you get to JATC before 6:00 pm - in case the evening carries over to another gay-friendly place close by.

2. You have to be above the age of 18 to attend this event.

3. GB as a support group, has created this comfort/safe space for gays, many of whom may be "newbies" (those still coming to terms with their sexuality and who have mustered courage to come for such a meeting for the first time). So we request you to be sensitive to the comfort levels of others attending the meeting and behave and dress accordingly.

4. To identify the group, look out for someone wearing a BLACK cap with 'gb' inscribed on it.
