In the years that followed, dramas such as “My Brother… Nikhil” (2005) and “Margara Wh A Straw” (2014) portrayed queer characters sensively – the former is the story of a man diagnosed wh HIV who battl homophobia om his parents and Indian thori, while the latter is about a bisexual teenager wh cerebral palsy who falls love wh a young bld activist. It was more mon, however, for Indian films to rce LGBTQ characters to stereotyp or to voke homosexualy for edic purpos.
The 2004 film “Girliend” featur a lbian character who is jealo and vdictive and ultimately meets a tragic end – a textbook example of the “bury your gays” trope. And the 2008 smash h “Dostana, ” about two men who pretend to be a uple so they n share an apartment wh a woman, is rife wh ritured notns of gay men. Today, such films are wily unrstood to be homophobic.
