Gay marriage bureau for Indians!

An NRI has established India's first portal, where gays can find their life partners in India. The customized marriage agency will help  homosexuals to find the right match.

Benhur Samson, who settled in the US, started the 'arrangedgaymarriage.com' after receiving numerous requests from gays regarding prospective life partners. He has been working in the medical tourism sector and helping gay couple in assisting with surrogacy for their children.

PTI reported that, Samson said that, "In June when (US President Barack) Obama declared marriage equality rights. I realized that while so many heterosexuals were visiting India to get married, then why not do the same for homosexuals."

The gay marriage bureau conducts background checks and counselling, said the NRI. Around 250 enquiries were received by the agency already from gays, mostly from India. The agency helped 29 couples to tie the knot, said Samson.

He said that, "we have received enquiries from about 250 clients, mostly from India, of which one-fifth have enrolled, as not everybody can enroll because fee is USD 5,000. We promise them a year's time to set them up with the partner they are looking for."

"We have been doing this since last eight years. I have been in international medical tourism and our clients would visit India to take their babies and will fall in love. We'd help them out and were already counselling them on their choice of couples. So we decided why not start a separate portal for them," he added.
