Ankit had his coming out in front of the whole world on tele-vision in December 2013. It was the day when the anti-gay paragraph 377 comes into force anew after four years. Maybe he had guessed that this moment would change his life abruptly. What he may not have foreseen was that as an activist he would board onto trains to the remotest places in India to tell people about alternative ways of love. Young, old, educated, uneducated. That from now on, his life would be about one thing: To make people understand that Hinduism and homosexuality are compatible. It is no sin to be gay: “I did not choose my sexuality. But I choose to fight.”
