LIVING LIFE ON HER OWN TERMS

Noor Enayat is a lesbian Muslim who is fighting for the rights of the LGBT community. No wonder, bigots hate her to the core. But that’s something that bothers her the least. “I don’t advertise my identity. But if people want to have opinions about me, they are most welcome,” she says. The 32-year works closely with LGBT rights NGOs and Delhi Queer Pride Committee. Her social media campaigns draw a lot of flak, and that makes her pledge to fight for equal rights stronger. “People believe that the LGBT have no right to exist. I have become thick skinned and immune to hatred,” she says, as she carries on her battle.
