Not surprised to see a mainstream media outlet co-opting the labor of queer reporters! this is just heart breaking!

This is not an Exclusive. @queerbeat_media reported this story in detail five days ago. We also named the Senior Economic Advisor who chaired the meeting in which Transgender Council members alleged being dismissed—Yogita Swaroop.

On February 19, a 24-year-old queer woman had to face an excruciating ordeal at a police station in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, a mob gathered outside.

Read our ground report by @nikita1712, @Ankur_pali, and @SourishSamanta to know what happened next:

For those of us who follow queer reportage in India there is hardly anything sensible when it comes to reporting the real, complex, on-ground issues. You want queers for pride, ONLY!

REASON WHYY Queer media should exists.

@isiddhantrattan I had read it earlier

[Sourish Samanta @SourishSamanta]

throwback to the time when a park Street book seller handed me 'A Little Life' when he saw I was browsing books, and tbh that says a lot! I do think I wear 'I am mentally ill, how did you know' look and it's fucking priceless.

@queerbilla your top era!

[Anaïs Nin @anaisninlovebot]

The soft water, the perfume, the warmth. I take on the colors of the flowers, the bloom, the delicacy. It becomes me.

@himanshu_fy Scholarships or any external funding options? Including loans?

[Yes, We Exist 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @YesWeExistIndia]

Hi @PlanetRomeo why are you, a Dutch gay dating app, asking Indian users to share sensitive personal data about their political affiliations and age? What will you do with this data? Will you be sharing it with any third party? If yes, who? Why doesn’t your survey clarify this?

[Sourish Samanta @SourishSamanta]

one must imagine Sisyphus ripped

[Sourish Samanta @SourishSamanta]

@queerbilla when I was living in Dilli, random hookups will ping me up for money lol and act as if I owe them the money

[Aatreyee Dhar(Let Sleeping trees lie) @carbon_stink]

Spending last month reporting for more than a week for elections from mostly uncovered corners of India just makes you believe that more than half of the hot takes on Twitter by everyone do not matter to people in rural India. Hence, stopped engaging or reading ppl's posts here.
