In Video: Imran Khan takes stand against homophobia
The recent gay rights law changes in India made everyone, including Bollywood celebrities, express their shock. However, once such actor has taken a particular stand about homophobic behaviour and this is Imran Khan.
Khan has come together with a comedic collective��All India Bakc**d (AIB) to create a video about the section 377 which makes gay sex illegal. “I�۪ve always been involved with gay rights. The scenario in this country is disheartening and depressing. These are basic human rights that people are being denied of; they�۪re no minority,” says Khan, according to Hindustan Times.
AIB, made up of four comedians Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba, Ashish Shakya and Rohan Joshi were also a part of the anti-rape video featuring Kalki Koechlin which went viral.
“We will take all the prejudices and amplify them until people realise that what they�۪re doing is wrong. This has become a cultural and moral issue, but morals are subjective. They are opinions, not facts…” Khan added.
