Onir calls out Bollywood for being homophobic: Who are they to narrate our stories when they don’t support us?

Filmmaker Onir shares that most hetrosexual filmmakers, trying to show queer community through their lens and homophobic..

Filmmaker Onir recently attended Kashish International Queer Film Festival, and he was left utterly disappointed to see that no one from the industry, who are so called allies of the community, came to show support..

Onir points that most of narratives Bollywood projects follow while telling LGBT stories are about accepting us, and they forget that queer peoples life is not just about acceptance or shortcomings..

However, the filmmaker doesnt hesitate a bit while calling out the double standards of the film industry, who he feels never forget to ask for the support of the queer community when they need it for their selfish reasons..

Theres no one talking about a film made by a queer director or casting done by a queer actor, he continues, When theres an event where the community needs support, theres total silence from these people..
