MUMBAI: A few days ago, a user asked Onir on social media, “Why do queer people make coming out a big deal? Straight people don’t have to do the same.” to which the filmmaker replied with razor-sharp insight and said, "Straight men and women do not have to be closeted. There is nothing for them to hide. Their existence, desire and love, it is all out in the open. And the reason we come out is to claim our spaces outside the closet so that we have a world where we don’t need to be in the closet.".

In an interview, filmmaker Onir explained in greater detail his experience and opinion of being a gay man in our country. "For me, dating becomes a bit different because I am a filmmaker and it mostly comes with baggage. It is not about my age or me being gay. The only thing people see is that I am a filmmaker and I might be their roadmap to something.", shared Onir.  

He added, “My parents want me to get married and if same-sex marriage is recognized in India, I would like to get married too, not to conform to anything, but to make a statement that it is my right to get married too. The sad part is that gay partners don’t even get legal rights. Hence, recognizing same-sex marriage is very important.”.

“People forget that we are the largest film-making country in the world. To me, Dostana is not an LGBTQIA narrative. When I’m talking about real films which deal with our lives, I hardly see them, even today. The percentage is very small.", concluded Onir. 

Here's hoping for a more equal world where it's easier to love who your heart desires.
