Chinmayi Sripada, widely recognized for her role in the #MeToo movement, has resurfaced on social media with a series of controversial comments, this time aimed at men within the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community. Her remarks have sparked a new wave of discussion and debate.
The singer and activist, who had publicly accused senior lyricist vairamuthu of harassment during the #MeToo movement, recently took to instagram to share her thoughts on a situation where a husband was having an extramarital affair while his wife was pregnant. She expressed shock at what she perceived as different rules for men who identify as LGBTQ and heterosexual men.
Chinmayi's comments suggested that many men on dating apps enter into heterosexual marriages while simultaneously seeking relationships with LGBTQ individuals, viewing it as an acceptable arrangement. Her remarks drew a response from a member of the Hijra community, who indicated agreement with Chinmayi's perspective. This individual further explained how many married men on dating apps failed to recognize their actions as cheating.
Chinmayi also shared a screenshot of a message from a person on a dating app who described similar situations, highlighting the nonchalant attitudes of some married men. Chinmayi's comments have reignited conversations about relationships, fidelity, and societal norms, prompting various responses and opinions from social media users.
