Indians from the LGBT community still face discrimination and violence, sometimes from their own families.

    Honour killings should be outlawed. This is the 21st century.

        Murder is not legal in India, no.

        It’s not legal. Still happens though.

    When you read these kinds of things I always wonder if they ever talk to their parents. I live in a very progressive country but I would still test the waters before coming out. I have nothing to come out with and I still have talked to my parents enough about things that I am fairly certain that they won’t try to kill me if I do.
