LGBTQ Rights in Asia
Asian attitudes and policies towards LGBTQ communities vary greatly between nations. Taiwan stands out as the only country on the continent where same-sex marriage is legal. India, on the other hand, only abolished its colonial-era law criminalizing gay sex four years ago. On the latest episode of Connected, we are joined by Jennifer Lu in Taichung and Sharif Rangnekar in New Delhi, two prominent advocates for LGBTQ rights. The guests tell us about the continuing struggle of queer people not only for legal recognition but also for genuine equality and respect.
