Conversion, Shame, Silence: When ‘Help’ Hurts the Queer Community | Pride 2025 | The Quint

Therapy is supposed to be a safe space. For many queer Indians, it’s anything but. From being dismissed, misgendered, or threatened with forced ‘treatment’ — mental health spaces often don’t hold up a safe space for the queer community. As part of Queer, Not Quiet’s "Legal, But Not Equal”, we spotlight the urgent need for queer-affirmative therapy in India. Activists, mental health professionals, and queer individuals speak out on the harm, the gaps — and the healing still possible. #QueerNotQuiet #IndiaQueerNow #VoicesOfPride #LifeAfter377 #TheQuintQueerArchive #TheQuintOutLoud  Learn more about your ad choices.
