The ongoing litigation in the Supreme Court around legalising same-sex marriage is bringing social media users out of the woodwork to voice their opinions, creating a lot of white noise and threatening to hijack the narrative and drown out important discourse. mid-day brings you a curated list of queer voices who are bridging the gap between myth and disinformation, and using their platforms as spaces for informed awareness.
This queer couple describes themselves as a fully filmy lesbian couple and their content is a colourful exploration of how they are breaking stereotypes, one romantic couple post at a time. “The reason why we started a couple page is because we wanted to create the kind of queer content that the 16-year-old Sayantika and Nick didn’t have,” Sayantika Majumder, one-half of the couple, explains, referring to the overly sexualised image of lesbian couples in popular media. “We wanted to show that it’s possible to have that regular, normal, day-to-day life as a lesbian couple.” Nick Prakash, Majumder’s partner, adds, “We want to normalise the narrative and give young queer folks the hope that they can also have a filmy love story with two heroines.”
