S2 E4 "Desi Love at First Pride"

Send us a text Everyone deserves a great love story like this one. Vaibhav Jain and Parag Mehta are two gay South Asian husbands who's love story began when they first met at a pride parade in Washington D.C. They are true trail blazers who along with their families are leading and role modelling to many what it means to live a life lead with love. We discuss all things Queer Desi including the viral video of the beautiful speech Parag's father made on their wedding day. His speech has helped many open their minds but more importantly their hearts to love and acceptance of members of the Queer community and helped parents of all faiths with antiquated beliefs. Their love has been championed by all their parents and the union of their families have proven that love isn't limited to the heteronormative status quo even in the South Asian community. Their love has turned into a force for human rights and the two are plaintiffs in a landmark court case before the Delhi High Court in India which seeks to legalize same-sex marriage for 1.4 billion people in the world’s largest democracy. In addition to being global advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, Vaibhav and Parag recently became fathers of two beautiful children born via surrogacy. In 2023, the couple welcomed a daughter Parineeti followed by a son Vivaan.
