Pride and The Adherent Prejudice in Odisha

For a gay or lesbian in a village, the end of this problem is in exorcism or corrective rapes. For one in the urban areas, it is marriage. In a world where babas with a following of millions, endorse homosexuality as a disease which can be cured with yoga and meditation, people have to choose isolated, depressing lives over joining an eternal fight for the fundamental right to love.
