I’ve now filed a case with NBDSA against the homophobic report by
@PoojaShali
@IndiaToday
due to their failure to retract, despite pointing out several factual inaccuracies. If we remain silent, soon channels will start demonising LGBTQ+ people just like they demonise Muslims.
🧵Hi
@poojashali
, stop spreading fake news! The first video isn't a Pride Parade, it's an event hosted by
@POTUS
. The trans woman is celebrating trans joy with 2 trans men showing their top surgery scars. This isn't indecency under DC law. No charges are filed against the 3.

Here is a painful and insightful documentary on how in Nazi Germany, after demonising Jewish people, the next targets were Transgender, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer people.

Across the world, especially in countries with conservative governments, transgender persons are made scapegoats in the culture war, and media channels too are playing a role to create fear amongst the masses against LGBTQIA+ people, especially transgender people.

Instead of highlighting the many issues that LGBTQIA+ Indians face,
@PoojaShali
@sudhirchaudhary
and others are scarring Indian masses, especially Indian parents, against Queer people.
Filed 3 complaints with NBDSA against the India Today Group for its reporting on the LGBTQIA+ Marriage Equality case, for violating Broadcasting Standards pertaining to accuracy, neutrality, objectivity, good taste & decency and Guidelines on Reporting Court Proceedings.

@IndiaToday
