We came across this beautiful post on ScoopWhoop where a photographer, Aritra Sarkar has clicked pictures conveying that there is nothing weird about homosexuality.
Aarti (photographer) exhibited these pictures at FTII, Pune.
Speaking a thousand words, these photos showcase an evolution where same gender people connect to each other.
But it is important to understand that you cannot view these photographs through the current conception of homosexuality.
As you make your way through the pictures, many of you would have been taken aback thinking, "That’s so gay!”
It criminalizes sexual activities which are 'against the order of nature'.
As if these gender norms weren’t constrictive enough, Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code makes homosexuality illegal.
These pictures give us a much needed breath of fresh air reminding us all that we should accept people and respect their emotions.
'The photographs depict souls belonging to bodies, not to any orientation.'
The concept of this project is that gender is not related to intimacy or lust.
Emotions exist in their purest form without gender or sex.
We’re often mistakenly convinced that a man with delicate features is gay or a woman with a strong jawline conveys that she is lesbian.
What fascinates us is that when men and women exhibit emotions with ease, familiarity and intimacy, we don't find anything wrong with it. Then why homosexuality term is not accepted yet?
The people photographed here are straight, doing activities with same sex partners and nothing seems to be out of place.
Tell-tale pictures, nothing weird with homosexuality
