The Indian LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender) community have for long struggled for their legal rights and acceptance, in a society deeply entrenched in homophobia. With the reinstatement of sec 377 of the Indian Penal Code that criminalises homosexual behaviour, it has led to further discrimination of the community. It is evident, that we, as a society are conditioned since childhood to conform to certain gender roles and sexual identity. As we grow up, this need to 'otherise' ideas we don't understand takes over and homophobia raises its ugly head. It is the need of the hour to break this cycle and educate our future generations on this much existent reality of our times. The resources available to achieve this are minimal and for children, quite rare. The mainstream has shied away from accurate representation and often the depictions have been cruel and downright homophobic. The project is an effort to add towards the positive representation of the LGBT community through the medium of storytelling. Ritu & Chandni's story (& struggle) in the form of an Illustrated Storybook for Children - Ritu weds Chandi is the outcome of this effort. Little Ayesha observes, questions and tries to make sense of the resistance and stigma faced by her cousin's same-sex wedding, in this tale on how love overcomes all odds. The following report describes my journey as I broaden my understanding of the LGBT community and subject; and arrive at a design solution that allows me to contribute with the best of my abilities as a visual communicator in a meaningful way to the same.
