1st  day of LGBT Writing workshop  to organize LGBT menbers  in to small groups of four or five and were each given a topic to think about pertaining to the issues faced by the identities in the LGBT spectrum. For instance, one group worked on making a list of issues relevant to gay men; another group on issues faced by lesbian women; and so on and so forth. After spending considerable time on making their lists, representatives from each group shared their list and explained their process. At the end of the process, the participants saw that a remarkable number of the issues they had listed out could be grouped under comprehensive topics such as “LGBT and the law,” “Life Story/ Autobiography,” “Social Issues,” etc.

On 21 & 22 July 2012, Vanavil Foundation organized a Tamil writing workshop for aspiring writers from the LGBT community. The event was supported by Orinam, a support group for LGBT persons in and from Chennai; and the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers and Artists Association (TPWAA).
