This video is 12 years old !!!! I thought the inclusivity and acceptance in the society started happening after section 377 was removed but I'm surprised to know that there were individuals and organizations that were laying the framework and clearing misconceptions about the community.
P.s: I have recently came in terms with my sexuality and i am very interested in learning about the hardships & struggles faced by our community especially in the 80's & 90's.Sometimes i read things done to them in order to "cure" them especially in the west.
One time i was reading abt how in the 90's gay men were subjected to lobotomy (method involved inserting an instrument through the eye socket to sever brain fibers) effectively paralyzing them, While i was reading this i felt this sense of uneasiness and sadness.
But it also made me realize that i need to work hard and reach to a position from where i can help my community.
