Queer Campus Bangalore

Queer Campus Bangalore is a support group and safe space for queer youth in Bangalore, India. It is open to school, college, and university going youth in the city.

History
In October 2011, a couple of college going residents of the city came together to form a support group for queer youth. This Bangalore chapter of Queer Campus was started as part of a network of student queer groups across the country, the first of which was started in Delhi in June 2010. Other chapters of Queer Campus were started in Pune and Hyderabad.
