Nisha
Rawal
recently
took
to
her
social
media
account
and
decided
to
shed
light
on
the
plight
faced
by
the
LGBTQ
community
in
India,
whilst
educating
people
on
the
subject.
The
actress
and
her
actor
husband
Karan
Mehra
also
spoke
about
their
queer
friends
and
colleagues
who
add
so
much
value
in
their
lives
and
are
such
great
human
beings.
Nisha
titled
her
post
on
Instagram
as
#SundayTube
and
#TakeItBack
and
wrote,
“Homophobia
is
a
negative
attitude,
feelings
like
hatred,
extreme
fear,
towards
homosexuals
or
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual
or
transgender
(LGBT)
lesbophobia
targets
against
lesbians
(women
inclined
sexually
towards
women)
biphobia
targets
bisexual
people
(men
and
women
who
are
sexually
inclined
towards
both
sexes)
transphobia
targets
transgender
and
transsexual
people
Homosexuality
in
India
has
been
a
subject
of
discussion
since
ancient
times
to
modern
times.”
She
went
on
to
add,
“Section
377
of
the
IPC
is
a
section
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code
introduced
in
1861
during
the
British
rule
of
India
which
makes
sexual
activities
"against
the
order
of
nature" illegal.
On
6
September
2018,
a
5-judge
constitutional
bench
of
Supreme
Court
of
India
invalidated
part
of
Section
377
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code,
hence
making
homosexuality
legal
in
India.”
The
actress
shared
a
link
to
her
YouTube
video
and
concluded
on
a
powerful
note
by
stating:
“India,
is
a
land
of
rich
culture!
On
one-hand,
we
invite
trans-genders
to
bless
our
new-borns
and
say
that
we
should
never
take
a
curse
from
a
Eunuch,
and
on
the
other
hand,
we
don’t
want
to
take
the
same
elevator
as
a
gay
guy,
don’t
want
to
see
them
sitting
in
the
same
restaurant
as
us,
don’t
want
to
let
them
use
the
same
washrooms
as
us!”
“We
have
friends,
colleagues
who
are
homosexuals
and
transgenders!
Make-up
artistes,
designers,
my
closest
friends.
Some
of
the
top-achievers!
I
have
always
seen
a
spark
amongst
my
homosexual
or
transgender
friends,
a
spark
to
live
life,
an
enthusiasm
that’s
incomparable,
a
zest
that’s
unbeatable
and
a
spirit
that’s
unfathomable,
a
smile
that’s
radiant,
a
hug
that
cures
all
my
insecurities!”
she
said.
