    Superbly done. I specially appreciate the fast pace because I usually watch videos at ×2 speed as I find the normal speed too slow. The sarcasm was on point. The music was in pace and not distracting. The content was great. One of the better videos I have seen overall. You go girl!

      actually it is illegal to defecate or urinate in open.. but every culture/ society has its own social conditioning or tolerance norms.
      in no lesser than effin' SoBo (South Bombay) based Kamala Mills compound's then one and only McDonalds outlet took offence or at-least sent a guy to tell me and my partner (hetro couple).. that it was a 'family restrau'.. and i was like: huh! we know... we are not making out with each other, nor touching each other sexually.. it was probably over a decade back.. and we were doing the noodle type silly thing with two or three long fries. maybe a kiss here and there while eating.
      don't know if sensibilities or sensitivities have changed in Bharat en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhārat_Gaṇarājya over time, but we are prudes and open minded as per our convenience and big hypocrites in general.
      kids, even toddlers dancing to vulgar songs, Munni ki jawani, Sheela etcetera during .. hold your breath.. 'Ganpati festivities' became a matter of pride and congratulations for the 'proud parents' who take it upon themselves to spam social media (messenger apps) with the A/V of the same!
      and yet.. an artistic impression of any deity (possibly in the nude) by a [QUOTE] muslim [UNQUOTE] M.F. Hussain hurts the gonads of the self appointed crusaders of 'religion' (the same as sholes who know jack shit about matters of faith and personal beliefs].

    BTW first thing is to be done is to prove it that it is medically not wrong or something to be ashamed. Then we should start collecting historical facts about LGBTQIA in INDIA and its history. Try using kamasutra and many sculptures as evidene. Then move. use the jallikattu protest as a model. That is the way to make things happen in India. Otherwise there is no point. But still I believe in this country's judicial system. Until then there is no point in having Aug 15 for all of us.

    @KalkiSubramaniam 6 років тому +62

    This video is so good, yet it does not include the history of the first Transgender pride march held in India way back almost 15 years ago. If Madurai pride march with with only a few people was included then of course the kovai pride march held in 2010 must have been included too. This video largely depends on information from wikipedia and that is written only by people who speak English🤥. Many historical facts are missing.

    • @spock7945
      @spock7945 6 років тому

      *+Kalki Subramaniam* agree! one of the reasons i was undecided to vote on this upload. [under-researched 'facts', inaccuracies]
      by the way: is a 'Pride march' different than a usual gay 'pride parade'¿
      because, although it has been over a decade, i recollect it as yesterday.. when back in 2008 there were a few sify.com/news/walking-the-talk-gays-march-with-pride-in-four-indian-cities-imagegallery-0-people-jdqo7Ndbchcsi.html
      and some of them *did* get fair coverage too news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7480648.stm
      i'm unsure of the '..Kovai pride march held in 2010..' which you mentioned.. but as you said.. may be i too didn't follow that much vernac. publications or media back then.. nor was i in that region back in the day!

    Although the laws were made by British, I think the homophobia existed in India even before that. And it has continued. There are examples of homosexuality represented in old India. But I think it was largely still frowned upon. I read Wikipedia article on this so don't come at me, but there were severe punishments for practicing homosexuality in manusmriti.

    Hinduism and ancient Bharat always acknowledged, endorsed and even celebrated queer gender identities/sexualities. It was first Muslims and then Christians that imposed their 'morals' on us. There are 67 Sanskrit terms for queers! You should have included ancient history too.

    many queer ppl in India feel like they need to work hard to leave the country to have a peaceful and happy life and I see why, so I wish our country realizes that their hatred will drive not only queer people out but also hets who may be allys or even people who may be assets to the nation solely cause of a narrow mindset.

    True that the LGBTQI community faces a lot of hurdles regarding acceptance on a regular basis. However, we can say that the scenario is changing a little. India is progressing and is now being more acceptable to the community. Don't believe it? Here's a video which may compel you to rethink - ua-cam.com/video/thd0FKH6N-g/v-deo.html

    *+Kalki Subramaniam* agree! one of the reasons i was undecided to vote on this upload. [under-researched 'facts', inaccuracies]
    by the way: is a 'Pride march' different than a usual gay 'pride parade'¿
    because, although it has been over a decade, i recollect it as yesterday.. when back in 2008 there were a few sify.com/news/walking-the-talk-gays-march-with-pride-in-four-indian-cities-imagegallery-0-people-jdqo7Ndbchcsi.html
    and some of them *did* get fair coverage too news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7480648.stm
    i'm unsure of the '..Kovai pride march held in 2010..' which you mentioned.. but as you said.. may be i too didn't follow that much vernac. publications or media back then.. nor was i in that region back in the day!
