Not much has changed for #queer #people in smaller #cities and #villages after the #Navtej #judgment.

However, now there are multiple #queer #collectives in #smaller #cities trying to reclaim their #space, says the #poet and #queer #activist

- Rights are never given willingly, they have to be taken either by judicial rulings, or protests.

Tomorrow, 6th Sept. '19, marks the first anniversary of the #Navtej Singh Johar judgement which decriminalized the intimate lives of #LGBTQIA+ persons in #India.

If you are in #bangalore come down to the Alternate Law Forum at 18:00 to talk about the judgement, what has changed over the last year and the road forward.

(I might live toot the event here for the benefit of those who live in countries where being #queer is still illegal)
