The Gays – A Sociological Study A Case Study of yellammagudda

Diversity is the Law of nature. Because of diversity likes and dislikes of human beings vary. On the basis of human organ we can decide, he is a man, she is a woman. Man includes masculine characteristics and a woman includes feminine characteristics. Apart from these two genders there is a group of people, who does not identify either masculine or feminine characteristics, i.e.”Gay Community”. As for as Sexual attraction is concerned among man and woman we find heterosexual relations, which are natural. But among Gays the normal sexual relations are homosexual, which is unnatural and not accepted by mass of society in India. But law gives permission. Keeping this aspect in view an attempt is made to study the gays who are visiting Yellammagudda of saundatti taluka in Belgaum district of Karnataka. The gays are called by different names, viz, “Mangalmukhi” and “Jogappa”.
