Last Day for the month of Pride
At pen :
PRIDE MONTH
Ramesh was 6 years old when he realized his genital parts are different from other boys of his village,
Ranganath was 11 years old when he realized he loved dressing up as a girl like his sister,
Diya was 17 years old when she realized she is actually attracted to both girls and boys,
But none of them confessed anything to anyone. They suppressed themselves. They suppressed their wants and desires . They never talked about their preferences but the society still judged them. The society tagged them with many names. Neither Ramesh nor Diya could protest, because they didn't know what to say. Until that one day.....untill that day when things went out of hand. The day when Ranganath was harrased by his male friends, the day when Diya was humiliated publicly by her college mates, the day when Ramesh was ragged and was asked to to open his clothes by his hostel seniors......that very day, they protested. They could not bear the pressure anymore and finally shouted "Why do you keep calling me different? I also have two hands, two legs, two eyes, one nose. Where am I different? Just because my sexual preferences and dressing up style is a bit different from you all, that does not mean I am different. Stop calling us different. I am what I am.....and I am happy with that". Slowly and steadily, their life took a turn from that day.
For last day of Pride Month.
