This comment is for my friend Ava, musician, writer, dancer, artist, friend, daughter, pet parent, transgender rights advocate. She passed away in 2022, after doctors ignored her claims of sharp pain in her stomach. This comment is for my friend, Sourin. Artist, engineer, theatre artist, footballer, son, friend, brother, husband. He killed himself after he was raped "to find out if he's truly male". I've lost so many queer loved ones to violence, bullying and medical indifference. Most queer people live only up to mid 40s. We are at war constantly for our survival, ever since school if not birth. Who do we listen to? Our bodies and minds that tells us that our happiness lies in our identities or the people who'd rather we be miserable so they're happy? Unfortunately for so many these people are our parents, our siblings, our families. We grow up in neglect and unloved. Still we try to show the world we just want to live in peace with our art and our ideas. We give the love we never received. My community sustained me through facing transphobia at work every day to the point I was attempting every day. My community picks the pieces of society's failures every day.

Ashris man, hats off to you. This is the best video I have watched till now about queerness. The way you explained the emotional, biological, social, sexual, cultural aspects towards this topic is incredible. You literally brought tears to eyes by telling arvey story. Thanks for putting so much efforts in this video. You nailed it...

[@himalayasharma7621]

This is today's India where people are forgetting their true SANATAN dharma . People bash Abrahamic religion but then ironically support them by following their rules. The Santan dharma that I follow accept everyone. The GoD that I follow is divine and eternal they won't neglect me because of who I am.

CORRECTION: The male gamete does not contain both the chromosomes! It contain only one which is either X or Y. The egg contains the other gamete which is always X. So when both the gametes combine : X from the female + (X or Y) from the male, we get either XX or XY. This is how babies have characteristics of its mother as well, both male and female contribute equally to the kid's genetics. It is just that the male's gamete decides whether it's a boy or a girl.

Aarvey's story really hurts when you think what he could have been if he was alive, he would have become an artist or musician. But because of bullying he died in depression. This is what homophobia and toxic masculinity does, it turns you into a monster who hates a boy just because he is good at art or music and not fighting or sports. When you bully someone and just say "its just a joke", its not a joke. A joke is supposed to make the reciver happy not depressed. A label is not just a label, its a sword, a sword that stabs you whenever you think or hear about it. Homophobia isn't a phobia, you are aren't scared of us, you are a monster who hates people for having totally normal emotions. Dear Aarvy, This world didn't deserve your pureness or creativity it never will. You were not a coward you were a brave person broken down by evil. The world may not remember you, but I will

[@raghavawasthi9593]

welllllll, I do not want to say something that can make someone angry as this is a very sensitive issue but in my opinion, toxic masculinity is nothing, there is a reason for everything to exist, and masculine behaviour also has reasons to exist, like Ashris said, masculine behaviour is needed to take risks and to maintain order/discipline. so please advise everyone not to use harsh words such as "Monster". I know there is a perfect reason for you to be angry and it is fine but it would be better if we keep our heads cool. Thank You.

[@alinachrist8416]

​@@raghavawasthi9593masculinity in and of itself isn't toxic. Women love feminine things and that isnt labelled as toxic feminity. But being so overtly scared to trying smth different simply cuz you are scared of losing your masculinity/femininity is toxic. Not wanting to do smth isn't bad, just shaming someone for trying it is. If you are so scared of a small thing destroying your strong 'masculien' Outlook, you probably aren't it lol

This was one of the most heart-wrenching and heart-warming video essays I've ever seen. Maybe also because it's closer to home, it hit hard. I wish there could be a public screening for content like this, followed by a standing ovation.

This was the best video I've seen on this topic. I'm not finding words to describe how beautifully u explained this whole topic. I wish this video reaches the lawmakers, government and supreme court. And to all the citizens so that they can truly know and comprehend this topic. They say Same-sex marriage is against our culture, without really knowing what our culture is all about. It's about loving each other. But everyone is busy spreading hatred. This video deserves trillion views. Thanks again for making a video on this topic. I'm new to ur channel and this is the first video of yours that I've seen. Needless to say, u just earned another subscriber! Kudos! ❤

I was an admirer of this channel before. Now, after watching this video with ultra pro max concentration and interest, I've become a devotee. Truly, this video deserves a lot more attention and you deserve a PhD for all the research. Thanks💜

[@airamalhotra7474]

I loved that you brought up this topic. Queerness is something most people do not comprehend, especially the older generation. I think it is the lack of knowledge and understanding about the topic itself. I also loved how you started with disgust and ended on disgust. The best part was that you didn't preach about what to do, how to accept it or get over 'homophobia'. You just said that queerness has always been there in the society and will always remain and how one wants to go about it is their call. Loved it Ashris 💕👌

[@pavithrabalasubramanian7344]

Aarvey's story was so heart-wrenching. Imagine the number of beautiful souls we have lost because of the denial of acceptance by the society. I hope the future is bright for our LGBTQ+ friends.

[@subhmaypatra5562]

The resplendent magnificence of this video is truly awe-inspiring. The LG logo on the thumbnail hints at the common ridicule for LGBT people as LGTV has become a taunting euphemism for LGBT community. The tapestry of AI-generated imagery, harmoniously interwoven with the mellifluous strains of Sounds of Isha's ethereal composition, "Bloom," bestows upon the video an aura of sheer masterfulness. Through its artful portrayal it deftly encapsulates the depths of our Indian culture allowing individuals to discern the inclusiveness that resides within our collective consciousness.

Please dub this someone in hindi and all other regional languages so that this can reach the people who need the most. Thanks for helping so many Indians feel okay with themselves.

the last story made me cry so hard... as a queer person I have to face homophobia everywhere im open in my college in social media etc. i even got bullied so hard for a Instagram comment saying the same thing you did "homosexuality isn't a western culture but homophobia is". I have recieved death threats by DMs my classmates makes fun of me behind my back and all... so I've stopped defending my sexuality all along. i already have clinical depression so i try to stay away from them but this video explained homophobic very simply so i wish they could understand half of these things

[@blockbyblock4078]

This is one of the best videos I have watched in a long while. Beautifully articulated and shown. The story of the boy left me feeling really sad.

This video is so touching, much respect to the content creators excellent job. Also remember the shloka in the rig Veda which says “everything that seems to be unnatural is also natural; everything stems from Prakriti” And let’s not forget, how we all sung with Lata didi for Anarkali (Madhubala) PYAAR KIYA KOI CHORI NAHI KI, PYAAR KIYA TOH DARNA KYA
