Mainstream Representations of Discrimination and Trauma in Queer Community

Abstract

The rest of the nation frequently ignores the great heterogeneity of the Northeast while perpetuating absurd misconceptions about it. The "mainland" ignores the diversity within and among the peoples of the North-East, and as a result, the North-East is only seen to be the fringe of Indian culture. The lack of mainstream representation is a fundamental barrier to empowerment. By subtly endorsing hegemonic values, mainstream media caters only to a heteronormative and racially superior segment of society, thus marginalising the queer Northeastern individual. The stigma and trauma experienced by queer community viz, typical LGBTQ individual from the Northeast could encounter in the nation's largest cities. Ethnic and socioeconomic minorities are routinely disregarded in the creation of several important theories in trauma studies, such as those of Cathy Carruth and Kirby Farrell. This study examines how the Northeast's LGBT communities have been traumatised by systemic persecution over many generations. This study explores how systemic oppression over many generations has traumatised LGBT communities in the Northeast. It is arguable whether Trauma of the Northeastern Queer is an anthology of various, unique traumas or a single, common experience. One of the most diverse parts of the nation is the north-east. As a result, there are differences in the LGBT experience in the North-East. Although some tribes and communities in the North-East continue to foster virulent homophobia, others have evolved to be more accepting and tolerant. Yet, there has been a recent tendency towards advancement. To address the internalised trauma of queer communities within the geopolitical reality of the North-East, numerous support groups have emerged. In the current study, an investigation of the homosexual liberation movements in the area is also addressed.
