De-Closet

Each individual has had a struggle of their own, the broader idea is to celebrate and understand this struggle as important on a global level. With the changing of culture and laws, the present generation has owned and held their narrative strongly. They don’t wish to identify themselves as a, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer but as a human being with basic rights. Often, the LGBTQI+ community is associated with having their own spaces — gay bars, gay pride events, and gay bookstores, for example. While these spaces are generally open to everyone, including heterosexual and cis-gender people, they are primarily understood as spaces where queer people can be. This is so because these spaces are welcoming for people who are otherwise ‘not accepted’ by the society.
