Queer: "despised Sexuality", Law, and Social ChangeQueer Despised Sexuality, Law and Social Change is an inaugural monograph based on the belief that the struggle for a better world for queer people has to be based not just on questioning the larger frameworks of legal injustice, state intolerance and societal indifference, but also questioning and challenging ignorance, misconceptions and hatred in our families, our schools and colleges and our places of work. This work will nourish vigorous Indian pursuit of human rights to be and to remain different. |
