It is time that India legally respected the rights of LGBT persons. It is very sad that this is not enshrined in Indian law in India so far, but I do believe that soon, we will come on par with respecting the individuality of people with different sexualities.

When I was a little girl, my mother always told me that if I ever got lost in a big city, “Look for the rainbow flag.” She believed in the goodness of the LGBTQ+ community, and knew there would be protection and direction there. I always found this to be true.
