The word ‘Queer’ is an umbrella term for sexual and gendered minorities. This community has borne the brunt of intolerance and rejection from the Indian society for a long time.

The project attempts to understand the nature of these oppressions that they face, bringing out their voices to lead to a better understanding of them. To translate the ‘them’ into ‘us’. It does so by bringing in the perspectives, life experiences and opinions of not only the queer community but also of everyone on this sliding scale of sexuality including heterosexuals.

Stories of these people existed before the retrogressive act of 377 came into being, criminalizing homosexual behavior in India. How has it affected these people? What are the prejudices that they face (if any) and is there a way to bridge this gap of our ignorance? These are some of the questions the project attempts to answer.

The project ‘Queer Voices’ drives its force from people and their stories, complex multi-layered identities and their tryst with sexuality.
