Queer Shorts and Conversations: Indian Supreme Court Decriminalizes Homosexuality
On 6th September 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 we open the floor for questions and conversations following the screenings. Dinner will be provided.
