Changing Mindsets
I have been living out of India for 25 years now but I have also been against
gay and lesbian persons. After watching today’s episode, I changed my
mind and now don’t have anything against them. Thanks for educating
me.

The entire episode touched me and removed many misconceptions from
my mind. I had a lot of confusion about the issue for many years. We have
to end discrimination and violence against the LGBT community. Once
we do that, we will find that many people will come out, without being
afraid of being penalised.

Before watching this episode, I had a low opinion about lesbians, gays and
bisexuals. I had even banned their entry in my friends circles on social
sites. I thought that they were involved in activities which are against
nature. After having heard Gazal and others, my views about these people
have completely changed and I have opened the doors of my friendship
to all of them!

I came out to my mother years ago as a gay man and ever since, I could see
in her eyes that she was worried about me. Whenever we talk about this
topic, she would become uncomfortable and hence I didn’t try to bring
this subject up for discussion. But I told her about what your episode
talked about and she said she had also watched it. And I could see no
worry in her eyes for the first time. Maybe she has now understood that
there is nothing to worry about in me being gay. And all this became
possible only because of you guys! No matter how many times I thank
you, it won’t be enough! :-)
