Ahead of Pride Month, 3 LGBTQ influencers to follow

Live Mint  

Pride Month in many parts of the world is celebrated through the month of June. In 1970, the first gay pride march was organised to mark one year of the Stonewall Uprising — various other cities in the US followed and organised marches at the same time. In the following years, this snowballed into marches in various other cities, with the LGBTQ community coming together to celebrate their sexuality, and declare ‘pride’ in owning identities. Another landmark moment was marked in India almost four years ago now, when on 6 September 2018, the Supreme Court decriminalised all consensual sex among adults, including gay sex, ruling Section 377 as unconstitutional. In the meantime, ahead of queer rights coming back into mainstream focus during Pride Month, we take a look at three influencers who are using their voice, work, and reach, to keep the conversation alive throughout the year.
