The song is a bit sad as, when I wrote it, I was struggling with my emotions and mental health, not to mention the fact that I was closeted while attending a Catholic high school. Now, this song shows me my strength and how far I’ve come. It feels right for it to be the final creative piece I submit to “The Michigan Gayly.” Thank you all.

Like a needle through my skin I want to say I love you In the way Adam first tasted sin I adore you and it seems a waste To say something so beautiful In such a humble place Padma Danturty (she/her) It’s a fact that Indian LGBTQ representation, especially Indian lesbian representation, is extremely limited in the media. Whether it’s American television or Bollywood movies, I find it challenging to think of any examples of queer Indian women who we can turn towards for representation and inclusivity. Personally, it’s always felt like I had to choose between these two important identities when picking a movie to watch. I could always find an excellent American television show with strong lesbain characters or a fun Bollywood movie to see myself in, but never both. It was like picking what was most important to me, and worse of all, feeling like I couldn’t inhibit an intersectional identity. Bollywood and Tollywood (Telugu cinema) movies especially are a big part of my family culture, and leaving out a part of myself for every movie sitting was tough.
