Desi LGBT Fest 2023 (hosted by @desi-lgbt-fest)
Day 3 : Fear/Guilt
CW: Aphobia, Homophobia, Misogyny
POV you're Ace/Aro/Aspec/Arospec in a 'get hetero married, have kids' heavy culture but not really very out to people. I mean, at this point the marriage culture is so deeply ingrained being out will probably exacerbate the guilt haha hahahahahaha haha hah....haha
Anyway, text flowed better in Hindi for me but ALT text available with translation+transliteration of the scribbles as well as the narrative text. English translation+transliteration of just the narrative text under the cut
Transliteration:
Hath Peele Nahin Honge,
Na khilegi mehendi ki lali,
Ghar me baaraat nahin aayegi,
Rishtedaron ko nyota nahin jayega
Safar ka humrahi bhi nahi hoga,
Jeevansathi bhi nahi hoga,
Humdard hokar bhi dard nahin samajh aayenge.
Humraaz hokar bhi raaz nahin rujhayenge.
Kabhi kabhi ek sukoon sa lagta hai,
Na rishte banenge, na dard hoga.
Lekin kya dost ke dard me sukoon pana,
Wajib hai?
Translation:
Hands won't stain yellow,
Neither will the red of the henna flourish,
The wedding party won't come home,
The relatives won't get an invite,
The journey won't have any fellow travellers,
There won't be a life partner,
Pain doesn't make sense despite being empathetic,
Secrets don't seem enticing despite being a confidante.
Sometimes, there's a sense of relief,
Bonds won't form, there won't be any pain.
But is it fair to seek relief in a friend's pain?

प्रेम म्हणजे प्रेम म्हणजे प्रेम असतं
तुमच आणि आमचं अगदी सेम असतं

Love means Love
Mine and yours is the very same

Happy pride month <3
#I watched a video of a pride parade in Nashik#they were yelling this as a slogan#And that's so true of them#cuz these lines perfectly describe queer love#desiblr#desi lgbtq#desi queer

Got a lot of nerve to go into a queer desi's post to rant about how queerness doesn't exist in my culture.
Like... Who are you, the British?

It's been more than 4 months since we broke up
And more than 2 months since we stopped talking about it
Less than a month since I stopped trying
And less than a day since I thought about it
You asked me yesterday if I'm still waiting
For you, to come back
I was hesitant to answer that.
But there was a part of me,
which still felt hopeful enough to answer.
I said yes, and you seemed surprised.
You told me you still feel the guilt.
That, you'll keep feeling that way,
Until I actively decide to move on.
And that you're well aware of how selfish it is.
I asked you if you've moved on,
You practically said yes.
You said you've romantically moved on from all this.
But all I heard was,
You fell out of love with me.
And as soon as you said that,
I realized I've been holding on to something,
Which wasn't even there.
I guess there's always that risk,
That the other person could grow apart,
And there's nothing you can do about it.
I was well aware of it, from the beginning.
I understand Neil Hilborn's words now,
"It's killing me, that you can walk away from this
And I just can't"
You could say I'm being dramatic,
And I'll probably feel cringe in the future
if I come back to read these.
Maybe I just need to get high or something.

Desi queers (especially the ones studying law) I have two very important things to share with you!!
I had a queer exhibit in my uni today! And we met the people who filed the 1994 petition in court to strike down Sec. 377
It was honestly a very emotional day for me, so overwhelming but in a good way!
Anyways go read "Less than gay" written by one of the first LGBTQ activist in India - Siddharth Gautam in 1992, you'll find it easily on Google
Second is a book called "Right to Love, Navtej Singh Johar v UOI : A transformative constitution and rights of LGBT persons"
It traces the whole history of litigation behind Sec. 377 in India. It's also free on Google
And if anyone lives in Bangalore and wants to visit the queer archive lmk!

My friend is now against LGBTQ rights because the only two individuals she met were a child predator and just plain predator (this one tried sexually assaulting her friend), in that order.
#Honestly#I know I can’t blame her for this viewpoint and I don’t wanna talk her out when the issue is so sensitive and painful#and I’m sad for her friend#poor girl#this situation is genuinely sad#desiblr#desi lgbtq#why is this world like this

Damn, a year ago I used to doubt my bisexuality wondering if I'm faking it for attention (nobody knows though- I'm closeted as hell) and am actually straight, but now.. I am once again doubting it- this time in the complete opposite direction, wondering if I'm actually just gay and that perceived attraction to guys was a phase and maybe I was convincing myself of it, to at least partially conform to society's standards??
I DON'T KNOW.
Will this torment never end?
Umm.. Also Katie McGrath is sooooo....... Hotttt

Do they realize how misleading this advertisement is? 👀
(Image Description: A Newspaper advertisement of a clothing brand. There is a picture of Two men in Traditional Indian attire, standing next to each other. Beside that picture, there's a picture of Two women in Traditional Indian attire, standing next to each other. Under the two pictures, there's a phrase in Marathi that translates to "Auspicious time for Wedding shopping")
