16-year-old queer artist Pranshu dies by suicide after being bullied for wearing a saree

In a heartwrenching incident, a teen queer artist died by suicide after receiving hate on social media for wearing saree.&nbsp;

In a heartbreaking incident, a 16-year-old queer artist Pranshu from Ujjain, MP, died by suicide on November 21. As per reports, they shared a reel on Diwali in which they wore a saree. The reel went viral and received hate comments.&nbsp;
Several social media users bullied the queer artist and shared homophobic comments. After receiving thousands of hate comments, Pranshu died by suicide.&nbsp;
Pranshu was a 10th-grade student and a self-taught makeup artist. They used to share videos on Instagram where they encouraged their followers to embrace their true selves.&nbsp;
Currently, the Ujjain Police is investigating Pranshu's death. Police have not found a suicide note.
It is worth noting that as per an assessment by GLAAD, it was found that Instagram's policies contribute to an unsafe environment for the queer community.&nbsp;
Arturo Bejar, a former Meta engineer even testified before the US Parliament and talked about the dangers of Instagram. He claimed that he warned Mark Zuckerberg about the platform's failure to curb bullying and threats. Bejar also said that his warnings were allegedly ignored.&nbsp;
As per the data from the Trevor Project, it was found that hate crimes against LGBTQIA+ people increased by 70% from 2020 to 2021.&nbsp;

Gulf Arab countries have asked Netflix to remove what it calls “offensive content” on the streaming service, apparently targeting programmes that feature gay and lesbian characters.

Gulf Arab nations ask Netflix to remove 'offensive' queer videos 

Saudi state television also aired a video of an interview it conducted with a &ldquo;behavioral consultant&rdquo; who described Netflix as being an &ldquo;official sponsor of homosexuality.&rdquo;

Gulf Arab countries have asked Netflix to remove &ldquo;offensive content&rdquo; on the streaming service, apparently targeting programmes that feature gay and lesbian characters.
A joint statement issued on behalf of a committee of the Gulf Cooperation Council made the request, saying the unspecified programs &ldquo;contradict Islamic and societal values and principles.&rdquo; Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates each published the statement via their respective governments as well. They, along with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar, make up the six-nation council.
Meanwhile, Saudi state television also aired a video of an interview it conducted with a &ldquo;behavioral consultant&rdquo; who described Netflix as being an &ldquo;official sponsor of homosexuality.&rdquo;
Saudi state television also aired a segment suggesting Netflix could be banned in the kingdom over a programme reaching children showing two women embracing each other.
Netflix, based in Los Gatos, California, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
The move comes after countries in the Muslim world in June banned the public showing of Disney's latest animated film &ldquo;Lightyear&rdquo; over a brief moment showing two lesbian characters kissing.
After that, the company's Disney+ streaming service said its &ldquo;content available should align with local regulatory requirements&rdquo; in Gulf Arab countries.
Many Muslims consider gays and lesbians to be sinful. In some parts of the Arab world, members of the LGBTQ community have been arrested and sentenced to prison. Some countries even maintain the death penalty.
The move also comes as regional streaming services try to eat into Netflix's revenue, including the Shahid service operated by the Saudi-owned MBC Group. The Saudi government is believed to hold a controlling stake in MBC Group after a series of arrests in 2017 ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over corruption allegations that saw him centralize power in the kingdom.
Netflix has limited content previously in Saudi Arabia.
In 2019, activists blasted the streaming service for pulling an episode of comedian Hasan Minhaj's &ldquo;Patriot Act&rdquo; that criticized Prince Mohammed over the killing and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, as well as the kingdom's involvement in the war in Yemen.
Netflix at the time said the episode was removed from the kingdom as a result of a legal request from authorities and not due to its content.

Pride Month: How to overcome homophobia at workplace

Let's discuss some practices that can help make the workplace more inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly.

For many LGBTQIA+ employees in India, discrimination is a way of life. As getting into job market is a daunting task, as per reports, more than 92% of transgender people experience employment discrimination and mistreatment once they get employment.&nbsp;
According to Section 9 of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, transgender people are eligible for any&nbsp;employment opportunity and can contribute to the country&rsquo;s economy. &nbsp;No government or private entity can discriminate against a transgender person in employment matters, including recruitment, and promotion.&nbsp;
An unfriendly work environment can adversely affect the mental health and productivity of queer folks at work.&nbsp;A safe workplace for the LGBTQIA+ community has the potential to become a lifeline.&nbsp;
Here are some practices that can help make the workplace more inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly:
<ul>
<li>Set up specific policies that outline your company&rsquo;s position on LGBTQIA+ rights</li>
<li>Include LGBTQIA+ awareness as a part of the sexual harassment training sessions</li>
<li>Sensitise employees about the LGBTQIA+ community&nbsp;</li>
<li>Create awareness of the harmful effects of homophobia or queerphobia</li>
<li>Recruit people from the queer community with the help of queer support NGOs and placement cells</li>
<li>Set up gender-neutral insurance policies for the LGBTQIA+ employees&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
