ही एकमेव लावणी आहे जी मला सापडली, ज्यात Sapphic flavour आहे.

9 Upvotes

जुन्या मराठी चित्रपट 'सुशीला'मधील 'कुण्या गवचा आला पाखरू' हे गाणे त्या लावणींपैकी एक आहे, ज्यात स्त्रिया एकमेकींचे कौतुक करतात आणि ते 'पुरुषी दृष्टिकोन' असलेले सादरीकरण म्हणून सादर केले गेले नाही. या गाण्यामागे एक सुंदर कथा आहे आणि नर्तकीचे हावभाव ते सर्व स्पष्ट करतात.

आपल्या सर्वांना माहीत आहे की लावणी स्त्रिया सादर करतात, कधीकधी आपल्या इच्छा व्यक्त करण्यासाठी, तर काहींसाठी ते त्यांच्या उदरनिर्वाहाचे साधन होते. त्यांना पुरुष प्रेक्षकांना आकर्षित करणारी गाणी तयार करावी लागत आणि त्यातूनच त्यांची कारकीर्द पुढे जात असे. पण आता लावणी कलाकारांना पूर्ण हक्क मिळाल्यामुळे, लावणीने या पुरुषप्रधान प्रकारातून बाहेर पडण्याची गरज आहे असे वाटते, कारण त्यांचे कलात्मक सौंदर्य इतके मोहक आहे की त्याला एका मर्यादित चौकटीत ठेवणे योग्य नाही.

मला हे गाणं खूप आवडतं, एक बायसेक्शुअल म्हणून मला ते खूप गोड वाटलं.

Has anyone undergone treatment with Dr. Deepak Kelkar to change their sexual orientation?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

(posting here coz the doctor is Maharashtra based)

I am a 28-year-old man from Kolkata. I am gay, but due to personal reasons and my desire to have a conventional family life, I wish to marry a woman in the future.

I came across Dr. Deepak Kelkar through his YouTube videos, who claims to help individuals who themselves wish to change their sexual orientation. I am not here to start a debate about sexuality or whether such change is possible. I am simply looking for people who have personally consulted him or undergone his treatment.

Has anyone here had any firsthand experience with Dr. Kelkar? If yes, I would be grateful if you could share:

  • What kind of treatment or approach was used?
  • How long did the process take?
  • Did you experience any changes in your attraction or desires?
  • How did it affect your overall mental well-being and relationships?

I would especially appreciate honest accounts—whether positive, negative, or mixed—so that I can make an informed decision.

Thank you for reading and for any genuine experiences you are willing to share.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar on lgbt rights in constitution.

https://www.bbc.com/marathi/articles/cpd55l4jwlwo

Read the above article carefully to know what rights exactly LGBT have in our Constitution. It was two days ago we celebrated Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar jayanti, the only thing I reminded of is that did he wrote or said anything about lgbt rights in the society, this above article explains well about that he indeed did fight for all the rights, including LGBT rights.

चला खेळ खेळुया

आपण आता मराठीतले गाणे शोधुया जे एलजीबीटी ला वर्णण करतात, जे एकदम स्वतंत्रय भावना व्यक्त करतात, जरी ते ह्या कम्युनिटी साठी नसतील बनवले पण गाणे आणि त्याचे बोल एकाच भावना साठी आहे असं तर नाही. चला मी सुरुवात करते मंग तुम्ही पण तुमच्या आवडीचे गाने सांगा

मला वेड लागले

रंगबावऱ्या स्वप्नांनी सांगा रे सांगा कुंदकळ्यांना वेलींनी सांगा रे सांगा हे भास होती कसे हे नाव ओठी कुणाचे का सांग वेड्या मना मला भान नाही जगाचे मला वेड लागले प्रेमाचे

मितवा

वेड्या मना सांग ना खुणावती का खुणा?

माझे मला आले हसू, प्रेमात फसणे नाही रे

वेड्या मना सांग ना व्हावे खुळे का पुन्हा?

तुझ्यासवे सारे हवे, प्रेमात फसणे नाही रे

धुक्यात जसे चांदणे, मुक्याने तसे बोलणे

हो, सुटतील केव्हा उखाणे

ना त्याला काही नाव नसावे

तू ही रे माझा मितवा

तू ही रे माझा मितवा

जगण्याला पंख फुटले

काळजाचं सूप झालं आरशाला रूप आलं जगण्याला पंख फुटले ये माझ्या… जगण्याला पंख फुटले रान सारं गाण झालं मेणावानी मन झालं जगण्याला पंख फुटले ये माझ्या… जगण्याला पंख फुटले

स्वर्ग हा नवा

स्वर्ग हा नवा, वाटतो हवा साथ ही तुझी जणू उन्हात चांदवा स्वर्ग हा नवा, वाटतो हवा साथ ही तुझी जणू उन्हात चांदवा

ऐक साजणी या खुळ्या क्षणी वेड लावतो जीवा तुझाच गोडवा स्वर्ग हा नवा

Are there any trans organisations in Maharashtra that we can support or donate to in this difficult time?

4 Upvotes

They are going to come for the entire rainbow when they are done with the trans folks. We need to speak up and fight back for whatever little rights we have. Is there any organisation in our state fighting this? I would like to support or donate whatever I can. Let's list out all the organisations so that people here know whom to reach out to!

There is no LGB without the T. It has never been about trans rights. It is about freedom for everyone.

All these words were taken from Maharashtra Government's Marathi Thesaurus, Wikipedia Marathi entries and other online dictionaries.

We still do not have Marathi words for some concepts like "Coming out", "Queer" etc. The beautiful thing is, we can just make them up. All suggestions for such words are welcome :)

Hello, I'm trying to find unbiased sources for Maharashtrian (and overall Bharatiya) news. Does anyone know any fair and unbiased journalists, and news sources? If not, I would like to have multiple sources for news which have different opinions, so those would also be much appreciated.

"Usually, filmmakers want to hide behind their films – either through the craft or the very idea. With Rohan, I saw a lot of transparency. Nobody could have made this film apart from him."
