Why We Stand For LGBT Pride & You Should Too
“To not be able to love the one you love is to have your life wrenched away” ~ Vikram Seth
If there’s one thing most of us can agree on when we talk about love, it’s this- the ability to love, and to be loved, is a gift. And, every human being should be able to love, without the trappings of race, gender, or caste, restricting or defining their relationship.
Unfortunately, when it comes to same sex love, society perceives it as “unnatural”, or an aberration.
We’d like to change that perception. We at UrbanClap, are a simple bunch of people. We believe that love is love and everyone, should have the right to love whoever they want to — in many ways, it’s the most basic human right.
This LGBTQ Pride Month, we are proud to stand firmly beside the LGBT community in India, as they fight for their equal rights, in the eyes of the law, or society. We’ve made a short ad film to spread awareness about the cause.
This film, along with our past collaboration with the Naz foundation is a very small effort towards furthering the cause of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community.
Additionally, we’re also giving away free photoshoots to LGBT couples. If you wish to contact us you can tag UrbanClap on Facebook or Twitter, using the hashtag #Comeoutforyourphotoshoot, or simply write to suhailv@urbanclap.com. We promise that if you so wish, your identity will remain strictly confidential.
We’re extremely grateful for all the love and support we’ve received so far:
The video was retweeted and liked by Manoj Bajpayee, Celina Jaitley, Harish Iyer, Arjan Bajwa and many others.
We’re hoping that more like-minded folks will take a stand with us to support the acceptance of love in all its forms. After all, it is the ability to love that makes us human.
Come out for your photo shoot. Give others the confidence to take pride in their choices. Share the love.
