Even if I am just one in a million. But I am worthy, my rights are important, my love and relationships deserve legal recognition. As the great festival of democracy begins, my eyes are on you. My heart craves but not for sweet words, take a stand in action.

What a brave student. This is not about the political party. It's about the collehe administration that forces students. We, in social media... should keep an eye on this college and should not allow any action against the student.

History should never forget the contributions of Anand Grover in LGBTQIA+ rights. He spoke about the issue when it was too much a taboo. Thank you anand, for then, for now and forever.

Grover (on abortion): Women do not have a right to abortion in India. There is a colonial perspective that was there in the IPC and has been retained in the BNS. It says that even if a woman voluntarily tries to have a miscarriage, she will be penalized and punished.โ€ฆ

Grover: Section 377 of the IPC was read down by Navtej Johar and has now been deleted. If a trans or an adult man is sexually assaulted or abused in any way, what is the protection? Trans men face a lot of very severe police and custodial sexual violence.

It was a pleasure to host a conversation with Liz Allen and Kaku Nakhate this afternoon at U.S. Consulate Mumbai on Navigating the New Normal: Cultivating Inclusive Workplaces. This was followed by round table discussions with 50 leaders from Government and the private sector.

Extremely unsafe driver. He left us midway. A young woman and queer person was there left in the streets. We were not able to reach the airport and we missed our flight. We could have lost our life also stranded in the street. You guys owe us an explanation Uber Uber_Support

Justice Samir Dave, of the Gujarat High Court, who has been transferred but the transfer has not been notified, denied abortion based on a theorcatic reading of the law. I wrote for the Indian Express about why this is wrong:

There was of course, the loss of the marriage equality battle in the Supreme Court. I gave a call to action here, asking to the queer community to not stop, but 'rage, rage against the dying of rights'
