The tears haven’t stopped since I heard the news: Apurva Asrani on the scrapping of section 377

The editor of Satya (1998) and Shahid (2013) and writer of Aligarh (2016) said today is the day the LGBTQ community is free at last.

Soon after the decision of the Supreme Court to repeal the regressive section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, senior advocate Indira Jaising tweeted: 'Today's verdict is a homage to the late Prof Siras of AMU who was suspended and asked to vacate his official residence as he was gay. He committed suicide.'

With the judgment in, it is time the film industry joins in celebrating stories like Aligarh in the future.
