Although the name city of love is given because of the picturesque landscape, rich cultural heritage and very vibrant friendly people ; and not because of any love stories. The city had its first pride parade in ; not only this was the first for Dehradun but it was also the first for Uttarakhand. Please let me know in the comment section if you know about more hangout places there. Lord Vishnu who is believed to be the messenger of love in their different incarnations and Lord Shiva who has an incarnation Ardhanarishvara whom the transgenders worship, give this place the holy significance it is known for.
The derogatory words have no real English translation, but they get their message across. In a small city like Patna, where the trans community has long been associated with local traditions such as launda naach —a controversial art form in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh where trans women or effeminate men dance to entertain men and are often exposed to violence, sexual assaults, and STDs—LGBTQ conversations are hard to come by. We have districts that are friendly towards cross-dressers and homosexuals, and their sexual grooming also happens this way. Which is why a lot of people here approach them through these associations and misuse words like launda and chhakka for the larger LGBTQ community.
