Being gay isn’t even a sin in Hindusim, so why would it be a big deal to tell your family.

This was very inspiring to watch! We still have a long way to go despite all the progress that's been done. This society still isn't tolerant and inclusive to all and probably never will be unfortunately..

good for him. what a brave person. just because you don't understand something doesn't make it bad or wrong. i couldn't even Imagin being the only strait person around when i was growing up ? being attracted to the opposite sex but told that it was so wrong ? and everyone around me trying to encourage me to be with the same sex as me ? it has taken me allot of years to realize how ignorant I actually used to be. love between two consenting adults is a beautiful thing no mater what sex they are.

In Hindu dharma ....gay, homosexual transgender are acceptable...it's not cruel like Christianity or Islam

Religion causes so many unnecessary problems.

Years ago stories such as this one stopped pushing the needle forward.
The usual tripe over and over and over again.
Self-indulgence. Narcissism. Identity Politics.
My advice? Get over yourselves and get on with your lives.
