However, many reporters, editors and producers continue to face challenges covering these issues in a complex, often rhetorically charged, climate. Media coverage of LGBT people has become increasingly multi-dimensional, reflecting both the diversity of our community and the growing visibility of our families and our relationships. As a result, reporting that remains mired in simplistic, predictable “pro-gay”/”anti-gay” dualisms does a disservice to readers seeking information on the diversity of opinion and experience within our community. Misinformation and misconceptions about our lives can be corrected when journalists diligently research the facts and expose the myths (such as pernicious claims that gay people are more likely to sexually abuse children) that often are used against us.

Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India
"In a time when India is seeing a lot of positive changes that will shape the future of its LGBTQ citizens, Community Business has come out with a splendid guide which is not only comprehensive, but also deals with issues that are very specific to India in a well researched manner. Today, in 2012, it is very essential for corporates based in India to come out of the illusion that they have no LGBTQ employees on board, and create a positive environment for them to come out in. I definitely suggest every Corporate HR, Talent Acquisition, and D&I team should read the 'Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India' resource guide while shaping policies that help create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for all.” Tushar M, Operations Head (India) Equal India Alliance For more information on Equal India Alliance go to: www.equalindiaalliance.org Creating Inclusive “The business case for LGBT inclusion in India is real and gaining momentum. India plays an increasingly vital role in our global economy. Creating safe and equal workplaces is essential for both its LGBT employees and India’s continued Workplaces for economic success. Community Business’ LGBT Resource Guide for India provides an invaluable tool for businesses in India to stay competitive on the global stage – and be leaders for positive change there.” LGBT Employees Selisse Berry, Founding Executive Director Out & Equal Workplace Advocates For more information on Out & Equal Workplace Advocates go to: www.OutandEqual.org in India “Stonewall has been working for gay people’s equality since 1989. Our Diversity Champions programme works with the employers of over ten million people globally improving the working environment for LGB people.

Chapter One Introduction 1
Notes Chapter One Introduction 1. Khush is a term used by a number of South Asian queers, diasporic and within South Asia, to refer to themselves. Khush literally means happy in Hindi. 2. Desi another Hindi word that means: native or from “desh.” Desh refers to one’s nation, nation of origin, or community. 3. I specifically focus on contemporary feminist anthropology and recognize that the essay as a genre is much used amongst feminists (both non- academic and academic) outside of the discipline of anthropology. 4. In order to increase the “growth rate” the reforms included an increase in foreign investments and incentives for exporters, a 20 percent depreciation of the rupee, reduction in protection to public sector industries, increase in foreign investor equity to 51 percent and rise in price of rice, steel, sugar, and electricity. 5. The cross-conditionality of the IMF and World Bank loans included struc- tural adjustment and stabilization measures involving trade and the econ- omy such as: cutting subsidies, increasing the prices of food and fertilizers, reduction of fiscal deficits, delicensing, increase in foreign investment, and devaluation of the rupee. Shastri, Vanita, “The Politics of Economic Liberalization in India,” Contemporary South Asia (1997), 6(1), 27–56. 6. For instance, listserves such as the khush list and LGBT India (and several other local list serves) have been extremely vital in connecting khush activists and scholars (especially between India, United States, United Kingdom, and Canada). 7. Anamika was a group formed in 1985, in the United States, for South Asian lesbians and by the early 1990s was no longer in operation.

I attended USF as an undergraduate student of the College of Business and the Honors College from Fall 2006 to Spring 2010. During that time, I became very involved with the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) advocacy movements on campus, including being President of the PRIDE Alliance for a year. When I was told that the Education Abroad department was looking for an Honors Thesis candidate to help find ways to make the department and its programs more LGBT-friendly, it seemed like a natural choice. As I conducted my research, I realized that there are some things that LGBT students need to consider before traveling abroad that other students don’t. Coming out as an LGBT student abroad can be much different than in the U.S.; in extreme cases, the results of not knowing cultural or legal standards can be violence or imprisonment.

We This year, we are also using the Pride flag that created the first edition of the Pride Guide with includes the black and brown stripe, introduced helpful information, programming examples, in June 2017 by the City of Philadelphia (with and featured resources and insights to help the help of IPG’s own Tierney). While not an offices and employees learn more about the “official” Pride flag, we feel the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community. The feedback received black and brown stripe calls attention to the from employees and executives was extremely marginalization and, sometimes, intentional positive and also served as a catalyst for more exclusion of people of color from the LGBTQ+ employees across the network to learn more narrative. about and join IPGLBT. As always, something like this is a team But with all the good we are doing at IPG, the effort and I would like to thank David Azulay, LGBTQ+ community has taken a few hits in Christina Cairns, Barbara Harris, Melynda the last year as well. We have seen a roll back Rowe, and Jeremy Thomas as well as all the in protections for employment and public fabulous individuals who have taken time accommodations. We’ve seen the Pentagon out of their busy schedules to dial in for the issues a policy banning trans individuals national calls, push us to do more, and share from serving openly in the military and the their perspectives. I also want to thank the IPG Department of Health and Human Services Diversity & Inclusion Team including Heide (along with several state legislatures) working Gardner, Bridgette O’Neal, and Sandy Chum- to deny healthcare coverage to trans people.
