- On the third anniversary of the reading down of Section 377 by the Supreme Court, which decriminalised homosexuality in India, The Quint decided to catch up with Ria Sharma and Ashish Chopra - and most importantly, their moms - Renu Sharma and Simi Chopra - to have an honest conversation with each other.

Unfortunately only 1% of Indian parents are this open minded.
True some doesn't even know about this.
Go start crying about this rather than bringing change in the society 👍👍. Ranting something doesn't bring any change.

Education has nothing to do with how accepting parents are. 🤷🏼♂️
EXACTLY
What i feel is we mistake literacy for education see I've seen people spending hours studying, going to colleges , getting a degree , getting a job but their minds are such disgrace . The older generation went to school but most of them didn't change and some did for ex i used to go to school but never learned about anything useful until i got my own phone but still i think literacy does brings a change coz if i wasn't literate , I'd be wasting my time watching so called mindless funny videos and wouldn't have discovered channels like these
@@penguin3245 Quint is not that great !!
@@taurusied7447 i don't care if it's great or not , i was just giving an example I'm not a blind follower of this channel but there are many more channels that brings awarenes like brut , soch by mohak......., Swaddle and that couple (i don't remember their channel name ) main thing is they atleast try to educate us
Yup
I can only wish and pray that everyone has these kind of parents !
Then world will be peaceful which is impossible

When you're rich everything look normal. Problems is to change people' thinking at the lower strata of society. They thinks that Its a disease or taboo.
Still Kudos to quint for raising such a stigmatized matter in an amicable and honest way...Love it❤
Yes... But again few rich parents also do not accept...
@coco 07 true.
Economical status has nothing to do in this. Parents mentality plays a vital part.
@@suneethajayaprakash7686 true like the guy in the video said... Education and status has nothing to do with acceptance.
Its like a dream reaction but it doesn't happens with 90%of the queer people
I think the % is higher than that....
@@ArghyaGh0sh hopefully the % will drastically decrease each decade..
Remember: These are just the accepting parents.
Hi Aditya. I produced the video. I agree with you that these are just a section of parents :(
@@MythreyeeRamesh Adya*
This will probably never happen to me 😭. My parents are homophobic af. This is beautiful
You can be that one supportive parents in future (:

I came out to my mom today as a bi who prefers girls more than boys she was smiling & joking & laughing with me. She knew that i like girls more than boys . I am glad she accepted me for who i am so easily or else i would've explain & talk about lgbtq+ until she becomes irritated lol i told her & she started laughing.
Supporting Parents makes your life heaven.
Its so heartwarming to see this, i hope one day even my parents accept me for being a non binary pansexual/bisexual (still confused about that) queer person but i also feel kind of sad watching this because i know that is never ever going to happen, i wont ever have that moment in my life because in our political discussions i have gauged that they're not supportive of the community at all, and my "father" even called my community a disgrace to society. I just hope more and more parents become accepting of gender and sexuality and educate themselves. I hope I can do something to change the perception of the queer community in India, and fight for inclusivity of queer education in schools because I believe its a good place to start. WE have miles to go before we sleep

This is so warm!❤️ Thanks for showing this Quint. Hope it motivates other parents to accept their kids choices☺️
Thank you, Khushi. That's exactly why we wanted to do the video :)
Hi
We need more parents like them.. what a beautiful video.. ❣️
Thank you for your kind words. We hope to do more such stories at The Quint.
These mothers are just so wholesome!🥺♥️
God bless them, such a lovely and supportive parents. That shows love is beyond anything be it age or gender or anything. U will never give up love be it for your parents, you children’s and your lover.
The thing is bollywood should make some movie about LGBTQ... please don't make them as a joke... this is 2021.... people should be educated about LGBTQ..so that any person never feel to be scared for being themselves... 💜
badhai do
I knew I am not straight since I was 14. It scared the hell out of me. I was scared that my family will disown me if they find out. 12 years after, I just could not take it anymore, I got tired of lying why I dont have a boyfriend, etc. So I decided to come out. I was ready to accept the consequences. But then, to my surprise, my family responded completely different to what I expected. They were very supportive. My mom got emotional when she realised I kept it for more than a decade, she apologised to me for not knowing and that it must be very difficult for me to keep it all these years. She told me, she does not care about what other would say, all she cares about is my happiness. Had I known that this will be their reaction, I would have come out a bit earlier. My relationship with my family greatly improved after I came out. So to those who are scared to come out to their family, have a little faith in them. 😁
I'm glad to see you all happy..
🤗🤗❤️❤️
Hope supreme court will understand it soon n legalise same sex marriage ASAP 👀🇮🇳
@Bad Pit ratio
@Bad Pit how is it nonsense can you please explain sir
Amen
I agree, they should pass a bill regarding that soon.
@R M H could you please explain it like conclude it in a lines or few
I just want to say, this video came from a very very elite and privileged section of society... This is like a fancy aspirational sort of thing. Parents don't often support like this.
I just came out to my friends, mom and sister recently. I was scared. But being truthful is most important to me and it was a big relief. They were accepting. I haven't told my dad yet but it will be soon. Love is Love!
Same here n happy for you
im happy for you.
Aww that 15 girls from his office are just sweethearts... I'm also privileged enough to have such amazing friends who accepts me as who I am... When I came out to them as Non binary queer person...
Thank you for making this video Quint, I'm contemplating if I should come out to my Indian parents. Just like any other queer person, I am scared of their reaction but this video gives me hope
Hope everything will go well :^)
Sending Best wishes!!
Hi Sarah. I am the producer on this video. Truck loads of best wishes to you from The Quint

Excellent mothers.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching our video.
6:07 "stereotypically different" , really love how sensitive her mom is . 🥺 Saying you were "different" in childhood can come off as rude to some people, but her mom made it sound factual.
I’m straight Indian male and was born and lived in America my whole life and I’m really shocked by this. I don’t know much about India, but know that homosexuality was illegal til 2018 which is even more shocking! Hearts goes out to family’s and kids and wish them the best life! Your happiness and quality of life matters. 🙂🙂😊❤️❤️
I am glad to see such accepting parents and it feels amazing to be accepted but sadly, not everybody has the privilige to share this dialogue even with their own friends, the idea of being judged and being unaccepted suffocates an individual and in the end, they accept to live according to the norms.
I watched this video muted but my eyes couldn't stopped my tears after seeing conversation

I just wish every parent is this understanding.
This society should understand gay and lesbian relationships are as normal as a boy and a girl relationship 😊 ❤
Even my mother accepted me as GAY
Please don't associate "proud" with your child's sexuality.
It is what is is.
Straight or LGBTQ
Everything is normal.
It just is. It's not an achievement.
I cried the entire video. May be because i had a bad day and watching this just took my emotions to another level. I consider myself to be a part of the community and I'm still figuring out who i am. But there is this constant fear of my parents and society who don't have much information about the queer community and it really pulls me back for exploring who i really am. Telling my few best friends that I'm not straight was really tiring. The accepted me for who i am but i always thought about what they would think if i hugged them as just a friend.
I think my parents are really accepting but i don't know what will happen in the end. It stresses me out on a daily basis. and i just want this to end. I hope i can just live a life without thinking what others will think about my sexuality.
Everything will be fine oneday brother...i too identify myself as queer! it feels like we have had the same journey. That hugging friend was something i too fear ,my parents are supporting but dont know if they'll accept it or no... but yes there's hope. Hope to be things good than it is today ,and if ever you feel like talking feel free to ,we dont know each other but god bless you with lots of happiness ,everything you deserve ,thankyou your comment made me feel that im not alone in this journey so thankyou once again!!!!!! @nids353 :)
My mom heard me out. She tried her best to tell me it's not real, what I'm feeling. But she let it go. She let's me do what I want now but pretends she never knew anything. My girlfriend's family is not as accepting as mine, even if mine was. Or should I say rather homophobic. Sometimes when people are being homophobic, they don't realise they're going against love all because they're of the same gender, even if they know this person is amazing for their daughter. My mom knows how well my girlfriend treats, and so does my girlfriends family. Yet all because we're both girls
I don't why, there r lot of happy tears in my eyes..
Im a bisexual and hope my parents are like this

“Accept me as I'm, Who I'm and how I'm.
The stories were really amazing.
@Sarcastic Doge BUCZ I was Born Gay. My Dear 💋❤️.
Yep. You are loved for who you are. Keep going..
@test test, India is becoming polluted…
Same homosexual and heterosexual culture has Biphobia
Let's accept Bisexuality/Duality/Non binary/Three in one
Never seen a homosexual hating on a bisexual. I know the jokes on social media that bisexuals are infidel or etc, but it varies from person to person. And homophobes hate entire lgbt community.
Very nice. Hope all parents and people be like them. It will make a beautiful world. Stay blessed. ,🥰🥰🥰
I plan to come out to my grandpa tomorrow. He's always loved me more than my parents ever have. He's the reason I didn't ever kill my self at the end of the day. Hopefully he is this accepting and still loves me the same.
All the best friend , hope your grandpaa understands your feelings and if he not it is also ok , don't worry , keep working hard in your job or studies . You will be definitely established yourself one day the way you want . Love you , good luck 👍🤍
@@lifeisbeautiful3564 Thanks, lmfao I called him and then chickened out. Hopefully I'll be able to tell him soon :D

Really kudos to The Quint and the parents and their kids
Lots of love ❤

I wish parents become these much supportive
This thing only happens with rich kids.
Who gets influenced more by western culture
Exactly
who cares? west influence, chinese japanese korean influence. also perhaps all animal species are west influenced who have homosexual population lol
@Aniket Kumar ....No gobar bhakt. It's about giving LGBTQ people their basic human rights which they are perfectly entitled to.
Wait till u find out that homosexuality was banned by Britishers 😮 and there are so many mentions of queer people and things in Indian history
Same sex marriage should be legal in India.
Supreme court made it legal in 2018 I think
@@anmolsrivastava8144 no they didn't. gay sex was legalised. marriage rights, adoption rights or access to ivf is still illegal.
@@shashwat4887 yes its just the existence of the lgbtq+ community was no longer a criminal offence. Marriage rights, adoption is still not there even gender affirming care for trans people is very much neglected. Basic housing, jobs and medical facilities is still a hinderance to the lgbt+ community. The marriage thing was brought up in court earlier this year and ruling party had objections because "against culture" argument :(
You know what, India and China are neighbouring countries and in bad terms and on top of that, the whole world is now waiting to see what China does in near future in global politics and in all we see China is coming hard on anything against the so-called traditional patriarchal Family structure. Now, both countries are a playing a number game in terms of future generation, China is forcing people to have more kids, coming hard on women's liberty and choice and on LGBTQ people. Indian politics is also affected by that. And, in this way, I think every country and community's politics deal with human liberty in the context of their neighbours, opponents and in general global communities. This is also a matter of tribal politics and patriarchy. Eg, in the recent Texas law, the gate keeping freaks of religions along eith their very own impractical heartless calculative "culture" prepared a ground for the judgement but the state approved it bcz of their own tribal politics.

Hi Roshni! Thank you for watching our video. Will definitely convey this to her mom :D
I pray that parents may understand our feelings
Many people's in comment section is saying dialogues...but jab unpe aaegi to wo palat jaege . So please ye fake support ka dikhawa na kre.....
Hope new generation changes and acceptance... increases....
And for gay/Lesbian please first accept yourself...than only you can fight with society...and live as you want. Bhot log hai jo khud ko society ke daar se accept nhi krte aur puri life gujar dete hai...but live your life... kyunki sirf ek hi life hai yaaron...khul ke jiyo❣️
Everything looks easy and normal. If you are rich, educated and have someone support.
Both family are well educated ...
I wish i could the my parents my reality of being pure lesbian n marry any girl of my choice abroad.

This is really informative and cute video,
Thats so satisfying
Loved it 😍😘
I really want same sex marriage to be legal in india
Love wins 🌈
I have respect for all the queer people but I would never be able to understand how and when someone develops the feeling where they identifies that they are actually different from straight people. It's a nice video, thanks quint for reaching out to their parents and m sure it will help a lot of other parents to come out and support their kids.
Hi Digvijay. I am the producer on the story. Thank you for watching our video.
@@MythreyeeRamesh oh wow, you've really done a great job. I felt joy seeing the parents getting really connected with their kids. This is quite missing in our society.
@@MythreyeeRamesh 🙌🏻❣️
speaking from experience i think most of us know who we are attracted to since we were little kids but since talking about attraction isn't really common in indian households even for straight people so most people keep it to themselves. and then ofcourse middle school comes and boys starts saying all the homophobic slurs they have recently learned, that's when we know it's safer to keep our identity to ourself.
How do straight people "identify their feelings"? Huh?
Education nothing has to do with this I think it depends how much parents are connected with their childs
this is so amazing👍😍....
Really beautiful video 🌻
Mujhe rona aa rha hai... my mom supports everything but not be dating a person physiqally female

It is just too much what a queer child goes through alone in his/her/their life... This hiding an all occupies so much of brain space and builds up high level of anxiety, that's why among the youths who commit suicide, more than half if related to lgbtq issues one way or the other... It's a fact.
My parents are also open minded 😘😘😘😘 love you mom dad

How fool these parents are? They must take them to the psycologists rather.
What if your childrens says they feel like jump into well?
Still you would say "yes you are free to jump" there is nothing wrong in jumping into well " i will support you" right?
how are you relating children's sexualities/gender identities to jump1ng in a well? they are two completely different things.
kha tak padha hai tu?
@@whydontyoustfu jaha tak tu pad nahi sakta🤗
Lol go and read psychiatry dude
No psychologist or psychiatrist would say lgbt as a disease .
Read about NMC bill.
Indian psychiatrist association never classified it as an illness even when section 377 was there. And any doctor or psychiatrist found to be taking money for this his licence to practice medicine would be terminated.
