This year, the Global Pride Month saw an increased discourse, in both socio-economic and political spheres, over how the LGBTQ community could contribute towards society. Around the same time, an order by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), on July 1, sought inputs and views from its Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) on recruiting Transgenders as officers. The CAPFs have welcomed the MHA directive. However, the absence of discussions on how the Indian security forces are being inclusive of the LGBTQ community could be deeply felt.
