India is a country where you can still very easily be harassed for being gay. Many of these challenges that come from living openly in countries across the world are common in India.

Bloomberg reporters Muneeza Naqvi and Kai Schultz join this episode from New Delhi to explain India’s rapid march toward affirming rights for LGBTQ people, and how a ruling in favor of same-sex marriage would be felt not just within the country but across Asia and beyond.
