Hi Amir,

It's not me who made a homophobic comment, it is how the country tgat I
pive in sees two males. I have several gay friends so PLEASE DO NOT take a
rant on me by starting a topic that has no base.

I simply wanted to point out how an innocent gesture of one culture could
be perceived in another. And for that same reason, I never even once
mentioned that touching a shoulder or holding hands is wrong. My point was
for those who find it offending and I mentioned that everyone should be
tolerant. If you missed it in the email, I would request you to reread.

Regards,
Dhaval Vyas
