THE VISIBILITY CAMPAIGN: Allies Speak- Rajarsee

Visibility of the allies is important as this will let the sufferers of the LGBT community know that they are not alone, that they can share and celebrate their love with people who do not really belong to their community

My Gender Is Not Separate From My Race

I wish I could be as colour blind; I guess life will be easier. But I do not have that privilege, my brown self follows me, clings to me, like the aroma of my Bengali cooking does to my winter coat. So it is not possible for me to talk about my gender and gender presentation without talking about my race.

THE VISIBILITY CAMPAIGN: Raghu’s Story

My gender identity issues started since I was only three or four. I always wanted to dress up like a boy. I identified myself as a male person. My mother never understood me and thought something was wrong with me.

THE VISIBILITY CAMPAIGN: Somava’s Story

Homophobic jokes have become a part of everybody’s lives, because people end up using them consciously or unconsciously, because society questions the sexuality of someone who opposes such demeaning things, because ‘gay’, ‘homo’ and ‘hijra’ are used as derogatory terms.

THE VISIBILITY CAMPAIGN: SUDIPTA’S STORY

Through my personal journey I have realized the world may be cruel at times. It’s difficult to be different, yet to survive in the society, but being in the closet is extremely suffocating, lonely, and hopeless.
