Watch the first Indian ad featuring a lesbian couple, before it gets banned
Even as the Indian society struggles to open up and accept the LGBT community, ad-makers are pushing the envelope and taking on bold themes to sell their products.
The latest ad released by Myntra for ethnic wear brand Anouk shows quite a bit of courage by featuring a lesbian Indian couple waiting for their parents’ visit.
The bold video has been surprisingly well received.
Don't hide it, say it! Beautiful ad by Myntra dot com. Take a bow. #BoldIsBeautiful https://t.co/8ujVNS28tc

Well, we don’t know when the archaic section 377 will be scrapped, but it’s good to see that dissenting voices against conservative forces have started to come out.
