(Last Updated on 29th February 2000)
G9. I am a 28 year old Punjabi girl belonging to an upper middle class family residing in New Delhi (INDIA). I am completely feminine in appearance and also what one calls "straight". My reason for opting for marriage with a gay person is that I am not interested in sex and since my family has been keen to see me married this would be best. I am a self employed Hindu, Indian and quite friendly by nature. My hobbies are reading, theatre, movies etc. I do not smoke and am a very occasional social drinker. I live with my family. I do not expect any physical intimacy beyond friendship and understanding and expect the same from the other person. I would prefer not to bear a child through this marriage and would instead like to adopt one, but am not completely rigid about it. I would prefer to get married to a person of similar background (both financial and social). I'd like such a marriage to take place in the next few months. I check my email everyday. NEW!
G8. I'm a 21 year old lesbian woman who is currently in a long term relationship with another woman. I am very comfortable about my sexuality and am "out" to all except my family. I'm tall, attractive, neither "butch" nor "femme". I was raised Hindu, (I don't believe in caste) my parents are S. Indian Tamilians. I will be graduating with a degree in English Literature and plan to go on to Law School to do Civil Rights law. I live in Philadelphia PA, USA, although I plan to move to the Washington D.C. or New York City area. I check my e-mail several times a day.
My hobbies and interests are politics, feminist activism, reading, art, theater, film and music. I have very strong convictions and am compassionate to all beings. I am generally flexible and laid back. I enjoy the company of gay male friends. My strengths would be my open-mindedness and passion for life. My weakness is that i am at times overextended in my commitments. I do smoke occasionally and drink socially. I do wish to have children but am unsure as to the extent I wish to involve this potential partner in raising children. I live alone or with roommates currently (not with family). My family circumstances are as follows...I have very loving parents who are simply unable to accept my sexuality.
They have found out in the past and have forbidden it completely on penalty of severing our relationship completely. Therefore, since I am very comfortable with my life and world view, I feel a commitment to my parents to ensure their happiness as well. Despite what others say, I genuinely feel that there will be no reconciliation if I come out to my parents. Therefore, I don't see the purpose of hurting them so badly. I want to make it very clear that I am not doing this out of fear. This would be a decision based on extensive long-term commitment to the contract of a marriage of convenience.
I am looking for a "spouse" who would be a gay male very out and comfortable about his sexuality. I would want this individual to be respectful of my girlfriend and I. He would be flexible and friendly. I would want an individual who has similar motives for entering into such a contract. As this is a very complicated arrangement, similar motives are vital for its success. I would only want this to be a working marriage. This means a marriage that appears to be "working" whenever my parents or family inquire into our lives. While I would hope that we can become good friends, there should be no expectations of "romantic or domestic bliss". I would not expect or allow for physical intimacy of any kind from my
"spouse". I would expect both of us would support ourselves independently. This marriage will work through EXPLICITLY OPEN COMMUNICATION. I am not in a desperate situation and do not want to enter into such a contract with anyone who is unable to think about this rationally for an extended period of time. With honesty, flexibility, and openness, I believe this can work. Depending on the responses I get, I could be seeking a marriage
of convenience in the next 1-4 years... NEW!
G7. I am Female, 25 y/o, gay, very comfortable with my sexuality but closeted. I am grad. student and live in USA. I'm from a middle eastern back ground and am seeking a marriage of convenience because I am having problems with family. I'm a very happy, out-going person, sincere and honest. I have no religious preference. I like music, love to read and I enjoy mythology and history most. I'm financially secure and ask the same of the other person. I'm looking for someone I can share life with, as friends first, and agree to a mutually comfortable agreement for marriage. I am interested in having a child through this marriage, however long term financial and physical presence is not required. I am definitely seeking someone currently living in the United States or who is interested in relocating here. Most important is an open mind and peaceful nature.

B29. I am Male, 28 yrs old Indian Muslim and it is difficult for me to live without a marriage with a girl due to various social pressures one encounters in the Indian social structure. I am gay by sexual orientation. That's why I am looking to get married to a gay/bisexual Muslim girl of preferably Indian origin. I am very comfortable with my sexuality and have no hang ups about being gay. I am quite open about my sexuality, though the social pressures in India do not allow one to be totally open about it. I am masculine in appearance and demeanor. I am an MBA working in the software industry as an ERP consultant. I am financially strong and have no liabilities what-so-ever. I live alone in NEW DELHI (INDIA) and am planning to move abroad in the near future. My parents don't live with me, but I keep visiting them often (they live in a different city). I also have very cordial relations with my parents and family. I love to travel, and have been traveling abroad quite frequently. I am very friendly by nature and like making close friends. I am well mannered, soft spoken, caring and interested in long relationships. I smoke and drink. I wish to have children through this marriage. I don't want physical intimacy, except that what is necessary for bearing children. I am looking for an honest, outgoing person having similar tastes and ideas and who would like to bear children through the marriage. I would be willing to relocate to her city, if need be. I am looking for a marriage-of-convenience as soon as possible. I check my e-mail account daily. NEW!
B28. I am a 25 years old South Asian Professional Gay Male living in LONDON (UK). I am comfortable with my sexuality but have not 'come' out. I am of medium build, 5ft9", and work as a Marketing Manger for a major UK retailer. I am British and have my own property in London. My email is checked at least once a week. Hobbies include, being with the family, gym, traveling and eating out. I am very sociable and have a good strong circle of friends. I am Protestant Christian and very much involved in the Church. I do not smoke but enjoy the occasional drink. The reason for this marriage is to ease the pressure from my parents and to be able to live in peace. I will not expect any physical intimacy, and I would expect the feeling to be mutual. Children will be nice but not a necessity. Relocation to London will be a must and most likely will be mutually agreed when the time comes. The type of person I am looking for is a Professional Female Lesbian, who is under the same pressures as me. I can offer a good life in London, and a loving home. The person must be a committed Christian or someone who will be willing to change. I am looking to find the right person during 2000, marriage plans late in the year.

I live by myself in SAN FRANCISCO (USA) and was married once but that ended in a short period for obvious reasons. I am Hindu, drink socially and my reason for seeking marriage of convenience is to have children. I am seeking a marriage of convenience with a US based 'in the closet' lesbian of Indian origin who is pretty, feminine, independent loves to live a full life and who would like to start a family and settle down into marital bliss and all that (with no expectation of sexual gratification from me please) but yet not have to reveal her sexual orientation to anyone.
