Another day another slay reminder that platonic friendships are as good as romantic relationships. At the end of the day, you just need someone who loves you and sticks with you. It can be a friend, or a lover. <33

Hello Gaysis!!!

I see you all waiting with bated breath!! Never fear, the prompts are finally here!!!!

It is our pleasure to bring to you the 30 day prompts for the Desi LGBT Fest 2023!!!

Feel free to draw, write, sing, dance, anything you want, anyhow the inspiration strikes you with the prompts!

Create and share and become a part of this small place online we're carving for ourselves...

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The over all theme of this year's Fest is:

"Queer As In Defying Conventions: What Does It Mean To Be Convention Defying In South Asian Contexts"

This means describing what queer defiance means to you and how you navigate your world within it. However, the prompt theme is merely a suggestion and not a requirement, so feel free to use the prompts as you wish! And if you do not want to use specific prompts, you can share something based on the overall theme with us.

Throughout the event, we will be signal boosting charaties, organizations, marches, as well as reblogging some of our favorite highlights from last year!

Okay humans listen up!

The legalization of gay marraige was being discussed in the Indian Parliament a day before yesterday, and one of the MPs openly opposed it, saying it was a product of the 'Western Culture' and leftist liberals were pushing it as a way to 'destroy the Indian culture'

Thing is, this is the majority population in India. The queer community in India is surrounded by trouble. It doesnt matter if *some* laws are on the community's side- majority exist to boycott. Furthermore, socially, queer identity is just not accepted. Hardly you will find families actually accepting queerness.

So this is my plea to all my friends to actually look at India and see past the vibrant culture and see the oppression that is still deeply rooted in our lives.

ahhh this subject, this topic, this 'if you don't get married then you aren't an adult and your whole life should revolve around the whole family thing' and talking as if it is a given, this looming doom over my queer head.

On one hand the documentary is nice because sometimes parents are understanding. Mine aren't, and for some reason they hardly show the not-so-accepting ones when it comes to minorities but alas, there are the surprisingly accepting ones. It's a hit or miss and quite the Russian roulette.

On the other hand the sentiment of 'you must get married' is there regardless. I don't think I'd be able to explain the way I feel about the whole thing without too many sappy words and metaphors that I'd never be able to say before interjections and overall disdain. AND the threat looms ever nearer. I don't like getting older in a society with expectations. It's not for me. I’m not sure what I will do. At all. I do not see a solution because of two completely warring ideologies. And I’m not sure who to ask because no one I know is both desi and on the aroace spectrum sooo…. I guess I’ll have to figure something out or run away to the woods when I’m older. Not that I can handle isolation. So there’s that too. And I don’t think I’m being over dramatic…sometimes I am but last time I even touched this subject briefly with my parents, it was a whole thing, spirals and not fun for months and months and drastic stuff. So Adult life things? If it’s anything like last year's brush with this then I’ll need to build up some ‘happiness inducing and comfort mechanisms’ ahead of time.

I don’t know. Sometimes it feels like I’m in the tentative, last ‘safe period’ of my life. From here it’s…. Choices I don’t want to make. Ha. Fun.

Apologies for the unsolicited rant!

@desi-lgbt-fest Day-3: Fear/Guilt

I'm an ace. *hairflip*

Why.. Why don’t I feel any butterflies when I look at him? What is this feeling that everyone is having when they look at him? “Dirty thoughts” do they call those? Why don’t I feel any of those? Why can’t I think about him in a different way? A ‘more-than-friend’ kind of way? All I can see is that he is a smart guy and good at his academics. Nothing more than that. Am I still a kid and stuck at that age without going through adolescence? They say everyone my age goes through these changes and feels things of this sort, but I don’t. I’ve tried looking at pictures, videos, none of it made me feel anything. Everyone keeps discussing the so-called hot and ‘sexy’ guys and girls, but they look normal to me. At maximum, they look a tiny bit attractive maybe but why does everyone want to kiss them and do “dirty things” to them? They keep sharing all these pictures and videos of half-naked people in the group and they are “simping” over them. What even is simping? I feel like an old granny in between everyone. Am I not normal or weird as they call me for not feeling that way? Is this the only way that someone is supposed to feel? What if I’m never attracted to anyone in my life? What if I don’t want to marry anyone? What if I don’t want to have sex and have biological kids? Will my parents still be proud of me? Will my friends still be friends with me if I don’t talk to them about all that? I’m scared. Maybe I’m supposed to feel guilty for not being normal, but I don’t. I don’t like this at all but this is who I am and this is how I feel. I’ve Googled more about what I feel or rather what I don’t feel and asexual is the term. Maybe no one is going to accept that I’m an asexual, I’m sure they don’t even know that exists. But I do. I’m an ace. (pun intended)

#desilgbtfest23 #desilgbtfest #desi queer #desi lgbt #dlf23: day 3 #asexual #aspec #I've tried something different this time #It's like an internal monologue that I've had back then #If you're an aspec I'm pretty sure you felt more than half of this #The fear is so real #But I never ever felt guilty #This was a complete scribble #I didn't even edit it because I thought to leave it raw #Also the smart part of it is kind of hinting at being a demi/sapio romantic #I'm exploring different identities so there's that #too many tags so I'll end this here #Thank you for reading if anyone actually did lol

DESI LGBT FEST 2023 Rules and Guidelines

All work will be posted with due credit and the creators retain all rights for it.

This event is limited to Tumblr. However, if you want to post your work elsewhere as well, you definitely can, as long as you credit the Desi LGBT Fest for which it was made. If you want your work reblogged in our fest, then provide the link and tag us in a Tumblr post.

Late submissions are accepted. Please allow mods at least 24 hours to do their due diligence.

Any work cannot involve purposeful hate, direct attacks or otherwise bashing of any other queer identity. Any depiction of homophobia/transphobia/etc. needs to be tagged as such. If deemed too inauthentic by any of the Mods of this blog, then we reserve the right to not reblog or promote such content.

Any work cannot involve purposeful hate, direct attack, or otherwise bashing of any religion, ethnicity, or real-life persons. Any such content needs to be tagged as such. If deemed too inauthentic by any of the Mods of this blog, then we reserve the right to not reblog or promote such content.

Please provide ample content warnings if your work features any difficult subject matters.

If you want to submit photographs, essays, nonfiction, or stories of any kind that involves real events, people, or places, three things are mandatory:

Cite the sources

Consent of people featured as much as possible

Respect, above all.

This event is to encourage new creations as much as possible, but if you have any existing art, stories, or content that you want to get featured on the blog, you can submit it. Just be sure to tag us properly so we can reblog.

Regarding content in non-English languages:

It will be featured as it is. Others are welcome to translate it for accessibility with the permission of the creators. But the main purpose of the fest is to create Queer Content for the Desis and it’s important that the content in your own language also gets a platform.

All NSFW content should/will be properly tagged. This Fest is for all, minors included!!! There’s nothing inherently 18+ about queer identities and minors should feel safe participating in this event as well.

Reblog, reblog, reblog! The more people this festival reaches, the more content we can all share, love, and create!

Heartstopper broke and healed the fat person inside of me so much. Charlie's anorexia has hit home since the comics,

but the show.

Isaac finding the ace spectrum touched me so hard (im definitely reading radio silence to explore aled now, and loveless! )

and Imogen getting a mini crush on Sahar was so cute!!

oh how i love heartstopper!

Anyone Ace who’s seen Satyaprem ki Katha ? Wats your thought about the way they portrayed an Ace person?

#completely out of curiosity #also On a different note why does no one promote a LGBT movie in Bollywood by highlighting the fact that it’s LGBT?#there are so many movies which I skip because it looks like a cheesy bolly piece #but it’s actually a really good movie with LGBT characters!#Bollywood #satyaprem ki katha #aroace #ace #asexual #desi #desiblr

Okay you do not understand how seen butterfly soup made me feel as a Tamilan. We get barely any representation in Western media, and a lot of kollywood/bollywood dubs cast light-skinned actors to play characters (also there isn’t much stuff about teenagers in kollywood). But then there’s butterfly soup, a video game no less, and it has one of their main character as a Tamilan. And she speaks tamil and she looks like me and sure, we may not be the exact same person but god does she make me feel so represented and so valid and so deserving of it. We need more representation of South Asians - and not just Indians who speak Hindi. I’m talking about those from Sri Lanka and Gujarat and Karnataka and Kerela and Tamil Nadu. I’m talking about all those South Asians who have to cling onto representation of North Indians when their South Indian culture is so very different. I’m talking about the people who don’t actually understand the Punjabi or Hindi spoken in the TV show or movie even though their South Asain. I’m talking about the people who have only ever eaten pani puri like twice in their life. I’m talking about the people who haven’t watched Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham but have seen Bahubali in it’s original language of Telegu. I love and will always respect and be grateful and proud of South Asian representation but it’s time to start branching out. It’s time to look at all the different cultures and regions and people of South Asia, and not just say “Oh we’ve put in a character that’s speaks Hindi, South Asian representation done.” It’s the 21st century and South Asians are tired of being generalised and not getting the representation they deserve. I shouldn’t have to cling onto a video game to feel seen. I shouldn’t have to dig and search to find something that shows South Asians exist in Western Spaces. It should be there, waiting for me.
