Hello! Presenting Gaysi Zine Vol. 1

I had once accompanied a very dear friend to a television talk show, and no, not the likes of Jerry Springer. While she went on yapping with the host and other guests of the show, I was left to kill time with the other “accompaniments” . Interestingly, one of them happened to be a palm reader.

Thank You London!

with you.
Echoes of words

Forcing me to force myself
to find contentment
in the seconds
when I had you…

Straight But Not Narrow : My Sister is a Lesbian

“I was raised in a classic patriarchal, machismo environment and was under the impression that homosexuality was a perversion” says Bharat Balan, whose sister Anita Balan is a lesbian.

The ‘A’ Story

“A Person may step into the past for a short time, to find something of herself she left behind or to understand the persistent ache of an old wound. Many times such a journey brings its own healing. At worst, she may simply put it behind her and go on”. – Namet, “When Women Were Warriors: Book I”

Tricky Tresses for Gaysi Women

Appearance has become such a big part of queer existence and identity for women. Fitting certain check marks on the list of common attire and appearance often helps queer women find each other in the sea of unavailable heterosexuals.

Wrath

We were pressed against each other. Her back to my front. My nipples hard against her feverishly hot skin. I held her as she lay against me in my arms, my legs spreading hers open to allow me access to her wetness. Arching in the pleasure I was giving her. I was angry. I needed her with an intensity that I believed was the only emotion that would satiate an indescribable feeling of irritation and lust I felt for the woman I was fucking.
