The support for LGBTQiA+ rights has been increasing with each passing day as more people get educated about the community. But a gap that remains to be filled is that of sizeable queer representation in mainstream fields including the media. In an attempt to fill this void, Humsafar Trust, an NGO for LGBTQiA+ rights, is bringing back its Likho Citizen Journalism Fellowship. “In 2015, we realised there was not enough queer content in the news. This is where the idea of this workshop came from,” explains Tinesh Chopade (right), associate advocacy director, Humsafar Trust.
