From its historical origins to its contemporary manifestations, the term "queer" has evolved to challenge societal norms and celebrate dissent and difference. India has had its own moments with queerness. For a time, queer seemed to suggest possibilities of sexuality outside the norm at its most powerful – to bring together all the bodies cast outside the norms of one book, one love, one gender, one idea of beauty. To bring together movements that fought such closures together; to make sexuality about more than L or G or B or T or XYZ.
