An individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression have not always been an open subject in the country. Members of the LGBTQ+ community have stood firm against social discrimination and saw hope when the Parliament decriminalised homosexuality in 2020. Riding on this hope, there are now many individuals coming out in the open revealing their gender identity. It was not a smooth ride prior to this.
