I'm gay.

I'm gay and proud. I've been fortunate enough to be surrounded by people who have been nothing but supportive but there are individuals out there who have a different story. The journey of self identity is not very smooth. We live in a world where acceptance for one's own identity and right is still fought for. Throughout the ages people have sought out to literature, famous figures, rallys, protests in order to expand people's perspective about everything that is not heteronomous in nature. Only a few specks of the society have come to accept the spectrum of humanity that exists. It's contradictory how  I don't understand the non acceptance but understand the apprehensions involved behind such thought processes. My point of realisation and acceptance of my sexuality has been smooth and less strugglesome and I am immensley greateful for that. I hope for the day when coming out stories in India are given as much importance as board exam results on social media. Until the day when a person's  self identity is not questioned upon or given questioning stares, we need to be supportive and encouraging in our own little ways. I thank every single person who has been part of my coming out. Happy Pride everyone! <3
