For the LGBT (lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders) community of the city, the V-Day seems to be the perfect podium to be true to the heart and celebrate their love with their partners.
Especially, after the Delhi high court decriminalised same-sex relations between consenting adults a couple of years ago, it has been a relief for the LGBT to come out in the open and express
their love.
This V-Day turned out to be a perfect podium to express and rejuvenate the feeling of love with their partners. When DNA spoke to few of these individuals, they seemed all elated and geared up for the day.
Deepak Kashyap, a psychologist by profession, who got engaged to his gay partner Jerry Johnson, has planned an exclusive dinner with his partner. “We have been together since three years and got engaged to each other on New Year’s Eve.
V-Day is a day to assert and articulate our love in words and actions helps take time away to bring out that love in the forefront from the background. The background that supports and guides us in all our challenges and cherishing moments,’’ Deepak told DNA.
“Gone are the days when there were hardly any LGBT people who expressed love on Valentine’s Day. Now, times are changing, and love is growing, and so is exhibitionism of it. Gay, Lesbian, Straight are just tags,’’ said Harish Iyer, a creative
professional.
