Let me take you inside a typical Indian school. Yes, I said typical in an article debating social stereotypes. And yet, this school is typical. Wait! I was not actually allowed entry into any government or private school that I approached. I wanted to understand the experiences of queer students during their school years in India (K-12).2 For this, I wanted to administer a questionnaire among 7-12 graders 3 (Espelage et al, 2013; Poteat, 2007; Poteat & Russell, 2013; Rivers & Noret, 2008; Sullivan, 2011) and understand the experiences of queer students through the attitudes of their peers, their educators and through prevalent discourses in the society in
which they lived.
