Today, homosexuality and queer identities may more than ever welcome Indian youth, but the acceptance of their sexuality and their right to express their choices publicly remain an ongoing fight for LGBT people within the limits of family, home, and schools. (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender). Through urban India, which has brought greater sensitivity to LGBT rights in social media and corporate initiatives, gay males find it easier to do this than transgender or lesbian women. Although urban LGBT voices are an important aspect of LGBT advocacy and heard through numerous online and real-world platforms, these expose only a little of the diversity have faced a lot. Far from gay pride parades, meetings, and heated talks on Twitter, rural Indian families have their own approach to LGBT people. Secret honor murders are arranged in some places so that only a young gay guy can survive, without money or social assistance, by the cover of the night to some town.
Lesbian women in other sections are susceptible to family corrective violations, which often take place through their own families. Vyjayanti Vasanta Mogli of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, a Trans-Woman LGBT and public policy scholar in Hyderabad, who talked openly about her school abuses, says que lesbian women and transfers in the rural areas end up at the bottom of the hierarchy as far as the basic human rights of family and village are concerned. Self-suicides by lesbian women are published in educated urban India each year. No wonder a court decided lately that lesbians in India are solely threatened by their families.
A recent study has indicated that parental response to homosexuality is one of the primary factors leading to the stigmatization of LGBT persons. The study concludes that many LGBT people only agree to behave like heterosexuals if they consent to their families. Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil is presently leading numerous projects to support LGBT persons, including the Lakshya Trust, which works for HIV/AIDS Prevention in an LGBT community. The narrative of this trust is well reported in the media in recent years. He adds that LGBT individuals shouldn’t take what they see in the media away. The lack of family support can prove to be a major blow for LGBT’s physical and mental health in a culture bordered by a tight set of social and cultural norms that determine the terms and circumstances for education, profession, and marriage. Isolation and conforming pressure often lead to sadness, suicidal thinking and psychosomatic disorders. Many want to migrate to another town to stay away from the enormous marriage pressure and to begin a family.
