Скачать или смотреть Growing Up Gay in 80's

While they played cricket, I wanted to play with dolls.
While they passionately discussed match scores, I discussed sarees, blouses, and jewellery.
They decided rules and fielding positions to play cricket with their dads.
I decided the outfit my mom would wear — down to the last piece of jewelry.
They spoke openly about their love for Madhuri Dixit.
I pretended to feel the same.
I was extremely effeminate. A lost kid.
Always conscious of how I walked, talked, moved my hands.
I was an embarrassment to my family and friends.
They put me in the girls’ team.
They called me “Bailya.”
They called me “Hijda.”
Many nights, I questioned myself.
I questioned God — "Why me?"
For every lost child who deserves to be seen. 🌈
