GOOD NEWS

Everybody’s welcome:

Looks like eating out in India got a whole lot more inclusive! After a transgender individual was allegedly denied entry into a mall in Pune, 45 hotels, restaurants and service companies, including Urban Clap and Olive Bar &Kitchen, have pledged to make all the people feel more welcome, regardless of gender and sexual preference.

Keshav Suri, executive director of the Lalit Suri Hospitality Group and one of the petitioners for decriminalizing Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, has been a vocal advocate for gay rights in India. “It begins with a fundamental concept such as not assuming that if two men are checking in together, they have to be provided with twin beds; and changing the concept of couple, which people still define as a man and woman together. We have started addressing a couple as a two some instead,” he told Hindustan Times.

The establishments will make various changes such as training their staff to provide more inclusive service, better hiring processes and gender-neutral bathrooms wherever possible. This is another big step in the right direction for India and will hopefully pave the way for a safer, happier, more embracing society for all.
