☆ In Modi’s India, Truth Tellers Are Now Enemies of the State - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-10-26 | by ( Vidya Krishnan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Jailing Ms. Roy would be not unlike America imprisoning a writer of the moral stature of Toni Morrison or James Baldwin. The charges against her represent a pivotal moment for India; If Ms. Roy is incarcerated, she will become the country’s highest-profile prisoner of conscience. Under Mr. Modi, the number of cases filed has jumped to 288 as of September 2022. But the real reason she is being targeted now — 13 years later — is surely because of her courageous criticism of the intolerance and violence unleashed under Mr. Modi. People like her are among India’s greatest assets because they stand for truth and decency, but they are being cast as enemies of the state.

☆ Overlooked No More: Lou Sullivan, Author and Transgender Activist

He also published his first article, “A Transvestite Answers a Feminist,” in the group’s newsletter — a kind of coming out. Sullivan moved to San Francisco in 1975 with his longtime partner, a cisgender man who encouraged Sullivan’s gay identity but did not see himself as gay. Sullivan’s first few years in San Francisco were difficult: He found the L.G.B.T.Q. community much larger and more diffuse than Milwaukee’s, and his relationship was collapsing amid tensions around his desire to medically transition. Walker came to rely on Sullivan’s knowledge and often sent clients to him for peer counseling.
