I highly respect your positivity and your fight against racism and sexism and a very good post and videos.

This is not directed just to you, but my concern here is the word "special." I don't like it when gay people or any group of people are called special. It carries that same alienating tone, even though most people mean it in a good way (like you have it here in the original post). People with mental retardation or disabilities (with all due respect to them) are called "special people" too or it is said they have "special needs". How about we just call them people and give deserved respect on an individual basis? No special adjectives needed!

Prince Manvendrasingh Gohil has contributed significantly in raising awareness about homosexuality. Media sometimes does horrible job though, what is this description of him as "India's first gay prince"? He might be the first prince who has come out, but he's not the first gay prince! This goes back to my issue with ignorance.

No apologies needed, your post was not offensive, it's just a wording issue for me, everything else was good. I respect people who have courage to stand up against racism, sexism or any discrimination.

Let's indeed hope for equality! I hope to see that in my lifetime. Honestly, It's selfish of me, but sometimes I wish I was born in future, where hopefully things have significantly progressed for the better.
