Came to usa, second day went to the walmart with family. 2 of my friends were with us. Both of them were walking together, you know eachother's hand on the shoulder. giggling , talking and laughinh to eachother and walking inside the walmart. May be people were looking at them, i didnt realize it then. My sisters came infront of them and asked them, are you guys gay?? They replied of course we are gay!! we all didn't know wat gay means?!! My sisters didn't say anything but laughed few times teasing my friends coz they were still holding the hands and walking together. later, I think they asked to my uncle and he told them the meaning of gay and means of 2 guys holding hands here in usa. As soon as they foundout, they came to me and and asked me do i know what is this gay means?? I was still unknown...... I think they didn't tell me that day... neither i was that curious to know that time. Next day, we went to the international party of the university student. My uncle whispered on my ear, that guy is gay. I was like " gay bhaneko ke ho"? he answered me in one word "hijada". I still got confused and asked him how he is gay or hijada and stuffs. later he explained me in detail about Gay. That was very disgusting & shocking for me to know about gay and their preference.
