I was inspired to take up this topic after I had a deep discussion with two of my close batchmates, Meera (who is a lesbian) and another guy friend (who is gay and doesn’t want to be named). Even post-decriminalisation of homosexuality, her parents were not ready to accept her and her girlfriend’s relationship, and on top of it, they were forcing her to marry a guy as a solution to avoid the social pressure. It was drastically affecting her personal as well as academic life here, and it left me disturbed with a question: Which is a bigger weapon? The law? or the social prejudice that still exists in varied extents throughout the country. Decriminalising Section 377 is surely a progressive step that has brought about a huge positive wave of change in our country. But still, there exist many who are yet to be a part of the change and are still holding on to their preconceived myths about homosexuality instead of actually knowing more about it. Many blogs written post-decriminalisation state that it’s still a ‘battle half won’ until the social prejudices vanish. The struggle to win the other half still continues, and I genuinely wish to contribute to it through my work. We usually like to follow the natural rhythm that has been already set by the society for us. Going against it or choosing to differ takes courage, especially if one has already spent most of their life abiding by all the set rules, which is the case with most Indian parents.
