On the recurring themes of homosexuality in his works, Rao says: "I am myself a poet, novelist, playwright and writer of non-fiction. Similarly, my teaching and research interests in queer theory and queer literature are a direct and natural outcome of my being gay and imaginatively tackling the subject in my fiction, poetry and plays."〔''Concordia Journal'': (Karen Herland, "International Interdisciplinary," February 14, 2008 ), accessed 15 May 2011〕
