The United Nations Free & Equal campaign has released the first-ever Bollywood music video for gay rights, featuring Bollywood star and Miss India winner Celina Jaitly.
With a glamorous set and lively tunes, the video showcases how important family acceptance is in India, and Asia in general, and how mindsets are changing all across the world about LGBTIQ people. Entitled The Welcome, the video serves as a beautiful reminder that everyone should be warmly welcomed by family, no matter who they are or whom they love.
Free & Equal is a United Nations global public education campaign for LGBT equality. A project of the United Nations Human Rights Office being implemented in partnership with the Purpose Foundation, Free & Equal will raise awareness of homophobic and transphobic violence and discrimination, and promote greater respect for the rights of LGBT people everywhere. The campaign will engage millions people around the world in conversations that will help promote the fair treatment of LGBT people and generate support for measures to protect their rights.
