The Chinese social media app TikTok has taken the world by storm. While it was initially popular in Asia, it has now taken over the West too. Tik Tok is the most popular social media app today, overcoming Facebook and Instagram.
TikTok has been able achieve something that some of the other apps like Facebook and Instagram have not been able to do – breach the class divide. And so you find an urban suave Indian on the app, and the rural daily wage earner too. If you can act, dance, or lip sync, the app is for you, and talent is not class restricted.
An average TikToker is either in his teens, or early 20s. This age group is also one that is very open to the idea of sexuality and gender. So, it is not uncommon to find Tik Tok users grooving to an item number, or being homo-romantic at times. While some of them are gay, many others aren’t.
Apart from entertaining their followers, they are also educating them on gender and sexuality issues, normalising the conversation around queer issues, or breaking gender stereotypes. Today, we list some TikTok accounts of queer Indians who produce great content, and who we think you must follow.
