If you're openly gay in India, you're gonna have a bad time.

Socially and culturally yes. But legalisation is the foot in the right direction. They will no longer be openly harassed by the legal system. I mean isn’t it same in US to some degree, especially if you’re in a conservative circle?

The US just codified the Marriages act. LGBTQ+ people have the worst time in almost half the US. Forget LGBT, there is a war on abortion and women’s rights in the US. There are bans on teaching evolution and history in certain states in the US.

This is not to say India is better or the US is. If you dig deep enough, you will find fossilized shit everywhere. Thankfully, laws in india are still fairly progressive.

And just like the US, Tier 1 cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai all have a significant gay population that are accepted and live normal lives. So stop spreading stereotypes.

Not true. Again it is state dependent. In California, there is maternity and paternity leave. It’s not black and white everywhere.

Have you lived in India? If not then please don't make any baseless assumptions about any place you have no idea about.

If you are openly in an inter faith relationship in India you are in trouble. Fuck that, for most people, if you are openly in any relationship, you are in trouble. Same sex relationships are out of the question. Step out of your bubble.

Same in the united states depending where you are. Are you aware India is 3x the size of the US? It is a very diverse place.
