So well said.
It pains me to see pogrom convicts being acquitted and rapists also out on bail or getting parole or acquitted.
I totally understand festivals part.
Anyway I was not saying we should out anyone. But ones who are there, can probably use their resources to speak. I still hope they are supporting or donating for the cause behind the scenes and have the backs of their fellow LGTBQIA brethren in this case and movement for their rights.
I deeply admire courage of likes of Onir to speak out.
I feel bad how Kapil show caricatured K Jo and gay characters. It is okay to mock them but not okay to speak for their rights and legitimacy of their existence? The double standards of entertainment industry are hideous.
I agree on cowards part. They are cowards. Especially ones in South Asia. Hollywood ones still speak sometimes even if they get backlash.
