On September 6, 2018 the Supreme Court of India decriminalized homosexuality by abolishing the archaic Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, introduced by the British in India in 1861. We invite you to join us in celebrating this landmark verdict and discussing its implications. We will screen two short queer films from India. Come share your stories and experiences as CCSA graduate students open the floor for questions and conversations following the screenings.
