| PROJECT BOLO, meaning 'Project Speak Up', offers role models by documenting Indian LGBT persons -- their growing up, struggles, love, career, achievements and life. Project Bolo's objective is to record Indian LGBT history, as well as inspire and empower the LGBT community in India, by presenting video interviews of LGBT persons and role models, who 'speak up' about their life and work. This interview features SUNIL GUPTA. ---------------------------- SUNIL GUPTA Sunil was never shy of his sexuality or sexual desires. He explored them, even as an adoloscent, at the most unexpected places and with the most unexpected people. But his sexuality only got politicized when he went to Canada to join his father. From Canada to UK to India, his life and experiences have truly been transcontinental, crisscrossing with other Indian LGBT personalities like Shivananada Khan and Saleem Kidwai. He has followed his professional calling as a world renowned photographer, but also followed the calling of his heart to discover many fulfilling relationships. Sunil has seen life to the fullest and more. He has taken happiness and heartbreaks in his stride, including the rather startling realization (at that time) that he was HIV positive. He now integrates his sexuality and HIV status with his photographic brilliance to create snapshots of LGBT history. ---------------------------- For more information and to read the transcript of the above interview please visit projectbolo.com/sunil.htm ... |
