  Argues that there is no monolithic homosexuality; there are only homosexualities, that is, there are as many reasons for being gay as there are gays. The author attempts to analyse and crack the codes of sexual (mis)conduct in contemporary India, giving histories of the fate of several gay writers and explaining the difficulties of coming out.
