Harrish Iyer (36) and his mother Padma (58) placed a groundbreaking gay matrimonial ad yesterday. Many have hailed the ad as the first of its kind in the country.
MUMBAI: Like any other Indian mother advancing into the silver years, Padma Iyer wants to see her son happily married and settled as well. But what sets her quest apart from others is the fact that she isn't looking for a bride, but a groom for her son.
Yesterday, in a groundbreaking move, she placed a gay matrimonial advertisement for her son, which met with an outpouring of support on social media, with many calling the ad the first of its kind in the country.
Harrish Iyer is a well-known name in Mumbai's LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community, with a flamboyance that often puts him in the spotlight, whether it is as an LGBT activist or as a director at the NGO, United Way of Mumbai.
