More than 2,000 people took part in a gay pride event in New Delhi, waving rainbow flags and multicolored balloons as they celebrated sexual diversity in India but also raised concerns over the country’s restrictive laws.
Dancing to drums and music, the participants walked for more than two hours to the Jantar Mantar area near India’s Parliament. They held banners reading “Equality for all” and “Queer and proud.”
The annual event comes after India’s top court refused to legalize same-sex marriages in an October ruling that disappointed campaigners for LGBTQ+ rights in the world’s most populous country.
“It’s not about marriage. It’s about equality. Everybody should have the same right because that’s what our constitution says,” said Noor Enayat, one of the volunteers organizing this year’s event.
I just found out my parents believe that being lgbt+ is a disease that can be passed down from generation to generation. I don’t think there’s any chance of convincing them otherwise, what do you guys think?
“So which one of your are gay?”
Send them to the shittiest retirement home possible?
If that were true, virtually everyone would be bisexual, lol
Well, logic should be enough. If it were so, there would be no gays, they would have died out millions of years ago (adjust the timescale for whatever works for the particular
fairy talegod they happen to believe in).Though there could still be bisexuals. Trans people probably wouldn’t be here as well, though that would happen much slower than with gay people.
disproving such beliefs is really hard, i always try to come up with something equally insane to say when someone brings shit like this up. out-conspiracy theory them until they realize that’s dumb.
Yeah it probably isn’t passed down to generation genetically but would develop ways to cope which in turn result in it.
