My mum, having seen a couple of good shows on one of the new channels showing, Aag (Today), was over the moon about the fact that said channel aired an interview with someone I assumed was a homosexual male and the level of acceptance he recieved in our society. Since I only started watching when I was grabbed by an excited mum and told to go switch it on, I came across much innuendo instead of actually stating what the issue was so that anyone tuning in late wouldn't be completely at sea.

It was interesting to note, however, that apart from the hostess of the simplistically named "Huma's show" never actually mentioning the topic of discussion by name in the fifteen minutes that I watched, my mum also asked me to go watch on "the other room's TV" instead of inviting me to watch it with her and dad. Our desperation to hide our hypocrisy and prejudices will be the death of us, honestly. However, I do supppose that actually adressing an issue like Homosexuality and attempting to educate the public about it instead of pretending it does not exist is definitely a positive step.
