Let’s be actual—most of us didn’t study queerness from faculty. We learnt it from pop stars in glitter, motion pictures that snuck in a homosexual subplot, and YouTube interviews that made individuals really feel seen. Right here’s an inventory of the moments that truly taught the world what it means to be queer, assured, and unapologetic.1. When Schitt’s Creek gave us a queer relationship with none trauma plotline.2. When Rihanna mentioned “who’s going to cease me?” in that Loud album period, and we believed her.3. When Girl Gaga mentioned “born this fashion” and we performed it on loop in our Nokia XpressMusic.4. Sushant Divgikar taking on Indian actuality TV (and our hearts).5. Trend actuality TV educating us about ‘chosen household’ earlier than we knew what that meant.6. That Gauri Khan-produced scene in Kal Ho Naa Ho that was queerer than anticipated.7. Karan Johar’s autobiography admitting what Bollywood wouldn’t.8. The Dostana closet scene that made many query their sexuality for the primary time.9. When Troye Sivan dropped Bloom and the queer web exploded.10. Ayushmann Khurrana enjoying a homosexual man in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.11.

Aligarh made us sit with the silence.18. When Made in Heaven gave us Karan’s storyline and didn’t maintain again.Nonetheless ready on a faculty syllabus that mentions Part 377, drag historical past, or chosen households? Similar. Till then, we’ll be proper right here, replaying our queer popular culture curriculum and rewriting the foundations.
