We Must Speak to Be Heard

Rainbow Stories

These stories were created through a unique participatory storytelling methodology involving queer individuals from East
and Northeast India. Led by Silence Speaks, USA, and Bridge India, it supported queer individuals in critically analyzing media representations and exploring their own unique forms of creative expression through collage, performance, and film making. The videos are powerful forms of self-expression, as also tools to advocate for queer rights across India.

Why It Is Important

We should be allowed to be who we really are. We must stop the obvious oppression to reach a common understanding. People need to tolerate different cultures and backgrounds!

Nationality can’t be banned! That’s why people are free to be who they are and not be punished or criticized for it! I was born in Africa and I am proud of my origin and my culture!

Christina's Mom

Love has neither color nor orientation. I strongly believe that everyone has the right to love and be loved. People are equal no matter what the color of your skin is or what gender you are.
