Past Services

Swapnesh Dubey is a gay activist, content curator, performer and television show host living in Mumbai. He was one of the youngest news anchors in India for three years. When he was asked to read a new story with an heavy anti-gay bias he refused, and walked away from his job. Swapnesh will be talking with us on July 18 about India's relationship with Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which classified homosexuality as 'against the order of nature' and therefore illegal. Swapnesh, who delivered an illuminating and engaging talk on Diwali in November of 2020, will bring his sharp observational skills, wit and charm to East Shore on July 18 (via Zoom) to talk about what it is like in India being an LGBTQ person today.
