As a responsible,educated,concerned,relieved and proud citizen/friend/brother, i would like to thank IPS for clearing the air and for coming out with an official statement regarding homosexuality. A clear outlook of IPS will help a lot of struggling/coming out LGBT individuals to cope with the rotten mindset of many.

Also, I request IPS to make sure that no further irresponsible comments are made by any member of the Society which may mislead and feed the growing stigma of our society against homosexuality, and that necessary actions are taken against the members who made those immature and baseless comments about homosexuality in January 2014.

Hope to see IPS working more closely and sincerely to make a better society.

Thanks again 🙂

Regards
Anshalu Bansal
