A couple of months ago, a group of friends while sipping on wine, deliberated on what more could be done for the queer community of Pune. As the wine flowed, so did our ideas!TQC was conceived that evening.

We knew it would be powerful. We knew it would be effective. We knew it would impact a lot of lives.

Yet, never in our wildest dreams did we imagine that in the first month of its launch, TQC would touch the lives of over 500 readers across 6 continents. Such is the might of the global queer network.

This network is a very powerful force that can facilitate change, when we focus our collective energies towards it!

We live in very exciting times wherein the queer community has experienced more change in attitude, acceptance and levels of tolerance in the last couple of years, than it has done in over a century. We need to ensure that this impetus is maintained. Our final goal is the change in legislation, nothing less.

Each of us needs to engage in positive dialogue whenever possible. We need to educate. We need to enable society to understand us better. We are pivotal in facilitating this change.

Let us make the most of NOW, to ensure we make it a better place, for you and for me.


Editor, TQC
