377: The legal battle against India’s anti-LGBTQ law
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 05 - “We don’t wish to be normal”

The Delhi High Court dismisses the petition, but the coalition against 377 is ready—all the discussion and collective planning has made the movement resilient. They fight back and have the case reinstated by the Supreme Court. Things start to heat up and many more voices join the cause, bringing personal stories, affidavits and testimonies about the horrors of 377.

How do you get a large coalition of activist groups to come together? How do you ensure disagreements are positive and that feedback turns actionable?

Anand talks us through the meetings they had and we meet some of the lawyers and activists who were key to the mobilisation of a strong collective voice for the petition.
