Thanks Conechvn for your sweet message.
We do not envisage to leave India at all as going abroad would not solve the problem. Last year the Court of Justice in Delhi has repealed the Art 377 of the Indian Penal Code the English imposed on India more than 200 years ago which was making homosexuality a crime punishable with 10 years emprisonnement and heavy fine (without taking into account the blackmailing, abuse, rape and beatings gay people would get from the Indian Police). This is now part of the Past. Hence, it is safer now to be gay in India and a lot of positive things are happening for us here. However, mentalities of people cannot change overnight just because a Court of Justice has decriminalized and it will take a long time for the whole of the country accept us all as we are: human beings like them.
Have a great day
