What Does It Mean To Be Queer In India?

It’s about the simple joys of sharing chai on lazy afternoons, the laughter echoing through crowded streets, and the unspoken bonds shared between lovers – some openly in love, others hidden in the eyes of the public.

It’s the silent struggles woven into the fabric of everyday life, yet still finding bubbles of space to be ourselves and share a love that is as simple, as soulful, and as glorious as any other kind. For us, being queer isn’t just about rainbows and labels; it’s about navigating the complexities of love and identity with a sense of authenticity and resilience.

At The Retellings, we hold space for stories – the ones less talked about, the mundanities of relationships, and the quiet revolutions of everyday love. This is our way of embracing our truths, rewriting our narratives, and creating a space where love is celebrated wholeheartedly and our stories are retold.
