If the people I’ve talked to recently are anything to go by, being gay in India is to face hostility and aggression. Being metrosexual on the other hand is cool, hip and glamorous. So did the metrosexual craze sort of legitimize a gay culture, since they have some commonalities and points of intersection?And now does the fickle marketers’ decision to edge out metrosexuality (“a straight, sensitive, well-educated, urban dweller who is in touch with his feminine side”- Trubo, 2003) by ubersexuality (a return to hyper masculinity) make a difference to the gay movement?
Or, as I was told knowledgably yesterday, are we now in a post-gay world, in which case it wouldn't really matter anymore?
