Welcome to Queer Stance! In this episode, we journey through the history of Pride Month, tracing its roots back to the pivotal Stonewall Riots of 1969. Join us as we explore how a night of resistance at the Stonewall Inn ignited a global movement for LGBTQ+ rights, leading to the first Pride marches in the United States.

Discover the unique challenges and triumphs of the Indian LGBTQ+ community, from the landmark victory of decriminalizing Section 377 to the ongoing fight against social stigma and discrimination.
