g_b No easy walk to freedom: Sec 377 documentary
No Easy Walk to Freedom No Easy Walk to Freedom , a 90-minute documentary by Nancy Nicol, tells the story of the struggle for decriminalization of homosexuality in contemporary India. In 2001, the Naz Foundation, an HIV/AIDS non-governmental organization in Delhi, filed a petition against section 377 of the Indian penal code, an 1861 British colonial law that criminalizes “carnal knowledge against the order of nature.” In 2009, the Delhi High Court struck down section 377 in a precedent-setting ruling celebrated by activists, human rights and legal experts worldwide. Citing Nehru and Ambedkar, architects of the Indian constitution, the High Court upheld “constitutional morality” and equality over this colonial era law. However in December 2013, the Supreme Court of India set aside the 2009 verdict and upheld section 377, recriminalizing LGBT people in India. In an ironic twist of history, defenders of section 377 in India argued that decriminalizing homosexuality is “contrary to Indian culture,” and that “homosexuality represents western values.” In fact, homosexuality was never criminalized in India prior to the British, and pre-colonial societies in India were replete with diversity of gender identity and sexual orientation. Section 377 in India was the first of such laws, which later spread throughout the colonial empire, to be enacted by the British. Today, this colonial legacy remains responsible for half of the laws worldwide that criminalize people on the grounds of sexual orientation. Thus the fight against section 377 in India is significant not only because of its impact on the second most populous country in the world, it also has far reaching implications for the struggle to remove these colonial era laws worldwide. In the famous words of Jawaharlal Nehru, there is no easy walk-over to freedom anywhere.” Filmed in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Lucknow and rural India, No Easy Walk to Freedom exposes the human rights violations under section 377 against a backdrop of the growth of queer organizing in India and the historic legal battle to overturn the colonial law. No Easy Walk to Freedom © 2014 Intervention Video Inc www.noeasywalktofreedom.com No Easy Walk to Freedom, is one outcome from Envisioning Global LGBT Human Rights, a large international research and documentary project led by Nancy Nicol. Envisioning is comprised of 31 partners based in Africa, the Caribbean, India and Canada, working together to share resources, knowledge and research to advance LGBT human rights. It is housed at the Centre for Feminist Research, York University, Toronto, Canada. Please see our website for other project-related research and outcomes.

Thanks for providing a link so that I could see Summer in My Veins. ( I am sorry to hear of Nishit's untimely death.) Nishit's mother is an extraordinary woman.supportive, totally caring and inspiring. As a University teacher it is a reminder to be supportive of international students in my country who often experience difficulties in accepting themselves. I am glad I was able to see this documentary.
g_b GLOBALGAYZ.COM CELEBRATES 15 YEARS ONLINE International Gay Travel-Culture-Rights Website Celebrates 15 Years, 300 Stories and 200 Countries.
GLOBALGAYZ.COM CELEBRATES 15 YEARS ONLINE International Gay Travel-Culture-Rights Website Celebrates 15 Years, 300 Stories and 200 Countries. It started in 1996 with a interview story about a closeted gay Taiwanese couple, one dying of of AIDS. Other stories about gay life followed as Richard Ammon, a retired psychologist, continued to write for a local Orange County, California gay magazine. After I had a dozen stories someone suggested I publish a book, he said, but the Internet made a travel book quickly outdated so I started a website--GlobalGayz.com. In 1999 the website was launched and today there are over 300 stories from over 200 countries around the world, making it one of the largest LGBT travel, culture and human rights websites on the Net. Based in Laguna Beach, California and Westhampton, Massachusetts, Ammon--with and sometimes without his partner--has continued an endless journey across the world to all continents and upwards of 150 countries in search of LGBT life and culture. I don't look for entertainment or celebrations. My focus is on individual lives and the up-and-down drama they have faced in everyday living. I interview real people about real situations with their families, their lovers and their friends as they seek safety and fulfillment surrounded by larger homophobic hetero societies of politics, religion and laws. The result is an unique website that offers in-depth and personal travel and culture insights for such diverse countries as Tibet, Uruguay, Slovenia, Kenya, Mexico and Morocco. Most of the stories are based on in-person interviews that Ammon has done with courageous African activists, Gay Games athletes, Asian sex-workers, upscale French 'preppies', Asian human rights advocates, exiled persecuted expats, deeply closeted Muslims and risk-taking Israeli protectors of gay Palestinian refugees in danger of being murdered by their own families. Far from the LGBT travel and leisure set aboard an RSVP or Olivia cruise, GlobalGayz searches out the hearts and minds of gay citizens whose lives are fortunate to live securely in Palm Springs or unfortunate to live at risk and in fear in Yemen. I have found the most troubled homosexuals in many countries are those who have been forced into heterosexual marriages--African, Latino or Muslim--and walk a razor's edge of being exposed, humiliated, rejected or killed. Of the people I've interviewed four have been murdered and at least half a dozen have been forced into exile because of real or threatened violence, said Ammon recently as he prepared a new story about LGBT life in Uzbekistan. In addition. there are some stories by guest authors that serve as stand-ins and supplements for countries he has not yet visited--such as Antarctica. There are about 205 countries around the globe; getting to every one is a life's journey. I'd like to visit every state but war zones where kidnapping westerners is popular are foolish destinations. Also on this well-organized site are countless photos for every country visited, from the infinite sand dunes in Namibia and Norway's Arctic Circle to Mount Everest. Each image is captioned for a viewer's understanding since most people are armchair travelers. In addition to the stories and photos, GlobalGayz has an enormous archive of relevant news and reports gathered since 1990 from LGBT news agencies. Ranging across a wide spectrum of current events--political, religious, legal, social, human rights, gender--they provide a broader context for the stories to help deepen a reader's appreciation of gay life in each country. Scanning the wide range of information here, there is probably no website that offers a more comprehensive understanding of so many countries regarding LGBT life around the world. www.globalgayz.com Worldwide Gay Life, Sites and Insights http://www.facebook.com/globalgayz GlobalGayz Blog: http://www.globalgayz.com/blo
