The reason why we chose this topic is to create awareness about the LGBTQIA+ community

to the society and also to contribute to our society in some or other way where especially in a

country like India, the idea about this minority section has still been considered a taboo despite

many things have changed. But this has still remained as a particular

mindset in most of the people in India. Though many laws have been imposed in favor of this

community, people still treat such people in a certain way.

So, our objective is to make at least the smallest of contributions in whatever way we can to

serve society, and thankfully, through this platform, we are able to achieve this.


India’s take on LGBTQ+


In an orthodox country like India, LGTB is considered a topic to not be discussed.

But India being a developing country has had some positive thoughts about LGBTQ+. NCERT had renamed its Women’s Studies department to the Department of Gender Studies in light of 2014. Under the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, a transgender person c

a legally change gender and In September 2018, The Supreme Court overruled its own 2013

decision and partially struck down Section 377, making homosexuality no longer a crime. But same-sex marriage is still illegal in India. Despite strong political movements in favor of

LGBT rights, there remains a significant amount of homophobia present among the Indian population,

with around two in four Indians objecting to same-sex relationships according to an opinion poll.

In the 2010s, LGBT people in India increasingly gained tolerance and acceptance, especially in

large cities. 


Extra Facts:-


Pride month:



LGBT Pride Month is celebrated annually in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots

and works to achieve equal justice and equal opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual,

transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) Americans. In June of 1969, patrons and

supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City staged an uprising to resist the

police harassment and persecution to which LGBT Americans were commonly subjected.

This uprising marks the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and

practices against LGBT Americans.

Fighting Gender Stereotypes !

  FI GHTING GENDER STEREOTYPES  Gender discrimination has a deep impact on society as a whole, especially on women. It does not just impact a specific section of society but every part of it. A man might say women aren't meant for combat, while a woman might say men do nothing but watch sports.  Such expressions represent gender stereotypes, which are over-generalizations about the characteristics of an entire group based on gender. Furthermore, the patriarchal setup in our society plays a big role. In this setup, the male dominates almost every aspect of life. Thus, they consider themselves to be superior to others. But it does not mean that people supporting feminism are anti-men. Thus, we need to empower women against such gender stereotypes, for example,  Boy’s can’t wear pink  Women should be back at home before 6 pm because “it’s not safe for them to stay out at dark for so long at night”( But why can’t society make it safe for them? )  and Men are a...
