I think our cultural upbringing has more to do with this than anything else. The Hindu religion and society teaches us morals which has made most of us devout straight people, and pretty faithful husbands/wives. You won't find many divorce cases in India, and neither will you find many gay people.

Maybe that is why we are a race of intensely devoted romantics, who hold their passions and promises in their highest esteems, more than anything else. Straight practical thinking is out of the window most of the time.

Rarely will you find an Indian who is gay, more so an Indian female who is gay. More rare will be any Indian who comes out in the open with that fact. Maybe those who were, hid that fact well in the years of Indian history so far. It is a very, very taboo subject. The modern influx of Western thinking, however, has been influential in this. We have had some people coming out in the past 5-6 years. But still, it is a pretty taboo subject.
