http://news.yahoo.com/s/po/20060628/co_po/gayprinceisdisownedbyindianfamilyAn openly gay prince in India who works for an HIV/AIDS organization in Gujarat has been publicly disowned by his family.
Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil of Rajpipla, who comes from one of the richest families in India, has been stripped of his title and inheritance rights by relatives who accuse him of disobedience and bringing dishonor on them.
Gohil reportedly learned the news Thursday from an announcement placed by his mother in a local newspaper. The statement said: "Hence, he
ceases to have rights as a son over the family property and the power of attorney issued to him also stands canceled. Henceforth, no one must refer to my name as mother of Manvendra. If any individual or organization dares to do so, it will invite contempt proceedings against him."
The statement issued by his mother asserted that he is involved in activities that are "unsuitable in society."
