What is "many" because most don't come from countries anywhere near that.
- howinteresting 3y agoMost H1Bs are from India (due to backlogs), and many are in queer relationships and marriages which aren't recognized there. Iran is another country from which many accomplished people are openly against the Islamist regime.
- bruceb 3y agoagain, zero quantifiable. Just "many". Biden hugged Modi less than a week ago. There are gay hangouts in Bangalore. Nearly every major company tech company has office in India. Saying that people need to claim asylum from India is insulting.
- howinteresting 3y agoI don't have hard numbers, just people I know personally who are part of networks. Discrimination against queer and trans people is rampant in India, especially against people from conservative families where there's a significant threat to their life if they go back. A bunch of gay hangouts in Bangalore doesn't solve the basic fact that conservatism is a pox on society.
