New Delhi: Ever since USA legalized gay marriages in June this year, India too has been abuzz with discussions regarding LGBT rights in the country.
Once a taboo topic, the issue of gay and lesbian rights gradually became one of the most discussed subjects in recent times. A few months back, we saw a LGBTQ flash mob performing in Connaught Place, highlighting the existence of their community.
While all this is catching attention, TV channel MTV has gone one step further to showcase an LGBT relationship.
Breaking from the stereotypes, the channel has featured a lesbian kiss for the first time ever on Indian television, in one of the episodes of a show named ‘The Big F', which focuses on forbidden fantasies.

The episode named ‘I Kissed a Girl' is about a young fashion designer who is confused about her sexuality. She is trying to live as per the rules defined by the society but then a girl enters her life and she realizes that she is attracted towards women and not men.
Watch the clip from the show:
This is certainly a bold step taken by MTV to feature such a ‘taboo' subject in the public domain. While it is bound to push discussions among the intellectuals in society, it is yet to be seen how it will go down with the audiences, the common man.
