Typical headlines: Hindu male seeks Hindu lesbian for MOC, lesbian muslim looking for gay muslim, sikh gay girl looking for sikh gay guy for marriage of convenience, hindu/punjabi looking for MOC...
The variations go on forever and extend beyond the South Asian community. And not all MOC's involve gay people. In fact, it seems as though most relate to those looking for a green card and are willing to pay their future spouse for their help. But if you scour the internet, you will find many gay and lesbian Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Christians etc searching for potential partners. What does this say about society and how unaccepting it is? What does this say about how gay people, namely South Asians, are forced to stay in the closet and search for an MOC as a 'way out'? What does this say about myself and my inability to tell my family the truth?
I am proud of who I am, but I'm too much of a coward to tell my family the truth. I don't know if they will disown me or accept me, I sincerely hope it's the latter. But what if it is? Will I ever find out someday?

Lesbian Married to Gay Man - MOC
I'm a lesbian married to a gay man...no, really. And let me tell you, it's one big roller coaster. I felt as though I had no choice but to marry a gay man, and now I'm not so sure. I'll unravel the details overtime regarding the misery that is called 'my marriage'...funny thing is, everything seems fine to the outside world. Sad reality is, I feel as though I'm going to explode...!!
I had a marriage of convenience, known as an MOC. An MOC between gay people is more common than you may think, in fact the numbers are probably shocking. Ads for an MOC usually go something like gay male looking for lesbian for marriage. I've scoured the web for men looking for an MOC and eventually found what I thought I was looking for. I will write about my experiences doing an MOC with a gay man and how this can either be the biggest mistake of my life, or the best thing I could have pulled off. Please stay tuned for a very interesting read on my life as I see it...
