The-First-Ever-Bollywood-Music-Video-for-Gay-Rights-Presented-By-The-United-Nations-1

 

When you’re LGBTQ and getting married, it can feel like you’re having to come out again and again. It’s exhausting! So we’re sharing with you this dose of awesomeness to relieve that for just a moment.

The United Nations Free & Equal campaign’s video for the first-ever Bollywood music video for gay rights features Bollywood star and Miss India winner Celina Jaitly. First, we see two men showing up to an Indian ceremony (a wedding, perhaps?) with the family eagerly waiting in anticipation to meet the new lady in this young man’s life. And out from behind the bush emerges another man. The family looks confused. Then the men hold hands, to which the grandmother reaches for her granddaughter’s hand. The grandmother is searching for answers, trying to understand, and the granddaughter starts to sing an explanation about love and acceptance. Oh, this is beautiful!
