Aniruddha Dutta's Story
Having lived and studied in India and now in the US, and moving between my small town home in Eastern India and many large cities, being queer has been a complex and at times paradoxical experience for me.
I had a childhood that I now recall as mostly happy, which was disrupted in early teenage when I moved from my small-town school to a large boys only catholic institution in a nearby city. There I realized both my attraction for boys and the sheer impossibility of articulating that desire, given the circumstances.
It was only in my first year of college that I came out – not to my friends at first, but to my sister and to cousins within our extended family, who were initially taken aback but soon became a large, closely-knit and invaluable support base.
