New Delhi, Sep 24 (IANS) Even as gay activism grows in India and some slowly find the courage to come out of the closet, many from the community - especially the well educated and well heeled in the cities - are opting for expensive sex change procedures, say doctors.

"You may ask why, but it is a fact that gays are going for a gender makeover these days. I have done several cases in Delhi and Kolkata," Ashutosh Misra, a senior reconstructive surgeon here, told IANS.

"Between a gay couple, generally the feminine partner is changing her gender and becoming female. Though I have seen gays of many age groups, those in the 25-30 age group are the ones mostly going for it," Misra said.

Sounds to me like transgender people are being identified or are identifying as gay. I doubt there would be that many gay men or women that would get a sex change, it would be a disaster.
