◄QueerCampus India invites you to join us for our public meeting at Yodakin Bookstore ►
Come and wish us happy six months!
Our regular public meetings are informal support spaces for queer youth. And we wholeheartedly invite participation from everyone who believes in what we stand for! This is your space to speak your mind, share your experiences with respect to coming out to family, friends, realization of your sexuality, your specific interests or what you expect from a queer youth support group like QCI.
Being young and queer in India can be tricky. You often feel left out in your circle of friends. You struggle to come out. You pore over numerous google searches to find that iota of information which will give you a sense of identification and belonging. Ever since our first public meeting on June 12 this year, we have seen participation from many people- people from the entire spectrum of LGBTIQ(age no bar!), students studying in Delhi, youth who work and of late, people who are from a less privileged background. We've participated as a group in public LGBT events including July 2nd celebration, Delhi pride parade and Nigah Queer Fest.
It has been a mosaic of ideas, fun, heartwarming life stories and most importantly, hope - a hope for the queer community and especially for queer youth out there! A hope that says out, loud and proud- here, in India, it is getting better!
Join us to make it better!
