About:

Jijo Kuriakose had a tough journey to realization of his sexuality – as late as at 23 years of age! However, the lack of support from his family, colleagues or friends did not stop him from moving forward and supporting himself and other members of the LGBT community in Kerela and in India. In this absolutely moving talk, Jijo talks about his journey of coming out as a gay man in India and how the same can be made easier with the support of his organization Queerela.
