2. We all familiar with the term Queer, but
coming up with a definition for “queerness”
presents quite a challenge.
There are many people who proudly
self-identify as queer, but in the India “queer” is
used as a slur. There is a huge History of Queer
identities in our Mythology, but still today we
hesitate to except those identities.

3. The ‘LGBT’ acronym stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.
A lesbian is a woman attracted to another woman.
Gay is used to denote men who are attracted to other men.
Bisexual means that a person is attracted to more than one gender.
A transgender person is someone whose gender identity differs from the one they
were assigned at birth.
