India's gay prince launches LGBTI university course

Crown Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil launched a university module in India on the LGBTI community this week.

‘Educating students about the LGBTQ community will help sensitize them to the invisible sexual minority,’ the prince told the India Times.

Importantly, it is thought to be the first academic LGBTI module at a South Asian university.

The world’s first openly gay prince introduced the course on Tuesday (August 28). It is titled ‘Proclivity of Gender: Socio-legal approach to LGBTQ Community’

Students of Law and Liberal Studies students at Karnavati University in the western State of Gujurat will all study the course. Also, more than 60 other participants from across India, including high school students, will participate. Read more via Gay Star News
