Conversion Therapy: Glimpsing through the Indian Lens

India is not a country that forgets easily its controversies, as we have often seen with such issues in the LGBTQ+ community whether it has been the same-sex marriage issue or something as flamboyant as the sports controversy. Their unconventional lifestyles have always been making the headlines. With me belonging to Generation Z, it would be weird if a long-standing friend came out as non-binary, or a 50-year-old math teacher announced she was trans. Embracing diversity may prove difficult to most people who follow traditional ways of thinking, especially during Pride month. Traditional views are very common, such as women being caregivers, men being breadwinners, children carrying on family business, and so on. This attitude is very deep-seated, and the notion of LGBTQ+ counters the conventional understanding of reproduction in the sense that same-sex partners do not have an option to have children except through adoption, sperm donation for lesbians, or gestational carrying for surrogacy in gays.
