Well, Gandhi was instrumental in removing homosexual depictions in temple sculptures, which was later carried out under Jawaharlal Neheru. Ofcourse no official documents exist of the matter. And with all his celibacy issues, I don't really see how he could have been gay. Cotton here I think refers to a method of masterbation; vaselin is obvious. Again enema can be a justified view as well. But, moral of the story is that India is still ashamed of the private life of the Father of the Nation. This is sad. Ofcourse, calling him 'Gay' will be a slander to the great man. Welcome to modern Indian hipocrasy. We are quite progressive, you see! Ancient India was a far better place for the LGBT to live than the current one.
