This evening, the city’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community will hold a rally to call out doctors and all allied medical professionals on their claims of ‘curing’ homosexuality through different therapies. Aptly titled Queers against Quacks, the rally will be held at Azad Maidan.

First of all, homosexuality is not a disease, so the thinking that it needs any kind of cure is mistaken and, in fact, ridiculous. By the very term, cure, you put gay persons into the ‘sick’ persons bracket. It is doubly shocking that men and women of science choose to do so.
