My Hindu Coming Out Story
28-year-old Anish came out as gay ten years ago. He’s since felt disconnected from his faith and the wider Hindu community, but now wants to find out if he can celebrate being both gay and Hindu.
Twenty-eight-year-old Anish came out as gay at university ten years ago. For the past decade, he’s felt disconnected from his faith and the wider Hindu community, but now he’s starting to think about his future and one day would like to have a family of his own. He wants to find out if he can reconcile his faith and his sexuality and celebrate being both gay and Hindu. He also faces his greatest fear by revisiting the school where he experienced homophobic bullying as a teenager to speak to the students there today about tolerance and sexuality.
