The same-sex couple also shared how they came out of the closet regarding their sexual orientation.

Similarly, Surbhi Mitra also said that she never faced any kind of opposition concerning her sexual orientation from her family. ”There was never any opposition to my sexual orientation from my family. In fact, when I told my parents, they were happy. I’m a psychiatrist and many people talk to me about living a dual life because they couldn’t take a stand for themselves,” said Surbhi Mitra, Paromita’s partner.

A few weeks back, a gay couple tied the knot at an intimate wedding ceremony in Hyderabad, in a first for Telegu states. Abhay Dange (34) and Supriyo Chakraborty (31) exchanged rings and vows at a resort on the outskirts of Hyderabad on December 18. As same-sex marriages are not legally recognised in India, the two men held a “promising ceremony’ to make their eight-year-long relationship official. Abhay, a Punjabi, is an IT professional who works for an e-commerce firm while Supriyo, a Bengali, is a hospitality professional. Their wedding was officiated by Sophia David, a trans woman.
