Straight men in Jodhpur04 May 2009 10:19PMI thought this photograph, which I took in Jodhpur, India last fall, would be perfect for your site. Men holding hands is a common site in India; it is a culturally accepted practice for men there to walk hand-in-hand or with their arms around each other. It's ironic, given that homosexuality is still illegal in India.
