Ep 6: The Indian LGBTQ+ community in 2020

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

It’s been two years since the world’s largest democracy repealed the draconian Section 377 which used to allow discrimination against homosexual people.

Only this month, a little closer to home, Queensland and the ACT became the first two Australian states to ban conversion therapy.

I spoke to people from the Indian LGBTQ+ community about how things have changed for them, if they’ve noticed any progress in society and what the next step towards equality would be.

  2. Kunal Mirchandani, chairperson of Trikone Australia
