MANVENDRA | Talks: Oprah Show, 5.2 Gay Bunnies

Crown Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil after a beach shoot in East Hampton. The Prince reflects on his annoyance with being prepped for interviews; and how many of the 52 bunnies at the palace are gay; and can we leave our shoes at the door? Kevin Stea riding shotgun. Jim Lawson at the house.

Manvendra Singh Gohil is the first Indian royal who has ever come out as gay. It took him 30 years of internal struggle, a failed marriage, and an inspirational bonding with Ashok Row Kavi, before he veered away from being a lawyer and dedicated his life to gay rights activism. His Lakshya Trust is today acknowledged as one of the best NGOs in Gujarat with projects organized from community grassroots, to advocacy at the highest bureaucratic levels. He was the only Indian to appear twice on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and has Grand Marshaled pride parades in Stockholm. Manvendra is the most visible GLBT figure to one-sixth of the world, and is expanding his work, and building a platform for global gay advocacy through his foundation: www.LakshyaTrust.com Please join the prince's official Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Manvendra.Singh.Gohil
