LGBTQ+ Activism in India: Shyam Konnur's Perspective | Unapologetically Queer

Shyam Konnur is an LGBT activist from India who was interviewed on "Queer News Tonight." India's progress in LGBT rights is closely followed by the American LGBTQ community. While Section 377, which criminalized homosexual sex, has been amended, there are still limited rights for LGBTQ individuals in India. Same-sex couples cannot be together, adopt children, get married, or have partner insurance. However, there is hope for expanded marriage rights in the future based on positive court judgments. The Indian LGBTQ community organizes events such as pride parades and film festivals but does not have gay bars yet. Shyam Konnur's activism and nonprofit work have been recognized, and his organization focuses on advocating for LGBTQ rights and creating safe spaces in India.
