Coming out
UNAIDS - The impressive photo series from the Indian photographer Arjun Kamath tells the story of a lesbian couple and has gained a lot of attention in the internet. UNAIDS spoke with the creator of the story.
"UNAIDS: Your project is called ‘Coming Out,’ what message are you trying to convey?
Arjun: Basically the message I’m trying to convey is that we have made such big advances in technology and science – we’re sending rockets to space and exploring the galaxy – but I feel our thinking is going backwards. We cannot even respect each other here on our planet . We don’t respect a man who loves a man or a woman who loves a woman. If we cannot love and respect the people around us just based on how a person chooses to live and love, then what is the point of such scientific advancements? The biggest mission for all of us on planet Earth should be to love and respect each other."
