Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss in the U.S. presidential election has elicited mixed reactions among LGBTQ activists in India.
A notable portion of Indians expressed support for now President-elect Donald Trump over Harris, even though her maternal lineage traces back to India.
Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was born into a Brahmin family in Chennai in 1938, and her grandfather, PV Gopalan, hailed from the village of Thulasendrapuram in Tamil Nadu.
Harris’s loss prompted mixed reactions within the LGBTQ community. While some individuals expressed disappointment, others backed Trump.
