Former Miss India and not so famous actress Celina Jaitley has stood up for Gay Rights. She participated in their Pride Parade at Girgaum Chowpatty in Mumbai.

Celina tells us, “Gays are God’s own creation like you are God’s own creation. It is not their choice to be a part of this uncommon community. Why shouldn’t they live peacefully and freely with a person of their choice? Do you know what stress they undergo when people around them treat them with hatred? It not only shatters them but also destroys their progress. They have a heart and mind of their own. They should be given the freedom of living and moving with their kind of people.”

It is the first time that we see an Indian actress stand up for the cause of Gay Rights which is still considered a taboo for some image conscious actresses. On being asked why Celina took such a bold step.

“Actually I have some good friends who are Gays. I now have known them for so long. They too are sincere and hard working lot. They are like any other homo sapiens. The instinct that attracts them to the same sex is an inborn quality. This instinct separates them from us. But if one goes into the depth of this fact you realize, this attraction is not under their control, then why disallow the gays to live with a person of their choice,” she adds.
