- Abstract
Homosexuality has existed for generations in the human society yet normative culture legitimizes only heterogeneous sexuality while homosexuality or bisexuality are deemed as an aberration. With the Indian society being predominantly homophobic and political persuasion being highly contingent upon 'public sentiment', understanding attitudes and sentiments of the people, particularly the youth, toward homosexuality becomes an important aspect in analyzing resistance or acceptance of homosexuals in our society. The overarching objective of this micro-level study is to explore the Indian youth perceptions and attitudes toward homosexuality. This research into the broad theme of homosexuality was attempted as a qualitative study to be able to do a fine grained thematic analysis as a way of developing deeper appreciation of the content.
