Last year, I participated in a project whose aim was to explore the issues surrounding people who identify as LGBT amongst South Asian communities in the UK. The interviewer asked the following three questions:
1) Why are LGBT South Asians still “hidden”?
2) Why aren’t there any visible role models of South Asian LGBT individuals?
3) Is being LGBT still a “taboo” amongst South Asian communities?
