ATS Studio

377 is a scripted narrative podcast about the legal action and accompanying social movement against Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. This anti-sodomy law was largely used to target MSM (men who have sex with men) populations in India and though rarely enforced, it was wielded as a threat against LGBTQI+ populations until 2018, when it was finally read down by the Indian Supreme Court.

Episode 04 - Floodgates to delinquent behavior

Naz Foundation has officially filed a petition in the Delhi High Court. But not everyone within the community was pleased with the process. Apart from the opposition in court, Anjali and Anand also faced criticism from the wider community on how they had handled the filing.

Was this the correct angle to use, and were they even the right people for the job? Was petitioning with HIV rather than equality going to have a lasting impact on sexual rights?

We go through some of the criticisms of the approach and what was done to make future discussions more inclusive.
