Lesbian american student okay in India? (How conservative is India?)?

I'm going to be in India for a year, in either Pune, Maharashta state or Ahmedabad, Gujarat state, studying art. I'm a lesbian, and I was wondering if this will be a problem for the culture, like something I shouldn't bring up, or if either of the cities are welcoming of LGBT people.

Hi

People in India do not openly and easily accept a different sexuality but there are plenty of support groups among which is one which helps with housing/accomodation. It is on yahoogroups and called GHAR (not sure of its expansion, check it out). Hope you have a pleasant stay here. menonasha@rocketmail.com

I am an indian. Lesbians are not common in india. It is considered something abnormal, so no one
openly accepts it. Since it is not accepted in the
society, it is better for you to keep it a secret, if not,there will be difficulty in getting apts. for rent and rooms in the hostel. You may have problem if you let them know or try to practise it in india. Sorry,we are not that open minded yet.

For what I gather from my Indian friends, it's culturally acceptable, as long as it isn't your child.

Edit: I read this from wiki. Pretty interesting.

I don't agree with the others. There are a lot of closet lesbians....... you'll find lots in college hostels.

Well.. i agree with the other answers!
India is much too conservative to talk openly about sex , forget about being a gay/lesbian!
Its better to keep it to yourself !

India is a conservative country. Things like this are still to be accepted. In other words, it is something that you really should keep to yourself. Sorry, but India is just not that open minded yet. It is still a crime in some places to be lesbian or gay.

Why take your western bad habits to India where they certainly will not be appreciated. India is a spiritual country and you should observe a little decorum instead of flaunting yourself in this way. Never heard the saying When in Rome do as the Romans do ? Gay rights POOH!!!
