Just ten days after shifting in, a transgender has been asked to move out of her flat in suburban Jogeshwari at the behest of its owner who did not want a 'gay' tenant.

"After I spent over thousands of rupees in painting and other finishing work in the flat (in a Mhada building), now my broker Jahangir has asked me to vacate the flat as, according to him, the owner does not want a gay person on rent," said Joy Paul, a freelance filmmaker.
