India is an advanced nation with world-class opportunities and diverse communities, but it still carries vestiges of colonial British rule—including a law criminalizing homosexuality.

While the country is free of the kind of puritanical Christianity we have in the States, sex is still mainly a taboo topic. So Anwesh Kumar Sahoo, Mr. Gay World India 2016, is helping dispel some myths by answering ridiculous questions he’s heard from straight people.

There’s the expected queries—”When did you decide to be gay?” “Who is the woman?”—as well as some we’ve never heard before—”Do you wear a lot of pink shirts.”

He also reveals his childhood crush—actor Ranbir Kapoor, who did a tantalizing towel dance in 2007’s Saawariya.

Sahoo, just 20, is sassy without losing his cool in the video, produced by Gaysi, and a great spokesman for his community. He’ll compete against entrants from around the world at the Mr. Gay World in Malta later this year.

We have a feeling he’ll kick butt in the interview portion.
