US President, Donald Trump, has given a big yet surprising thumbs up to Bollywood’s first gay romance movie. The President who is set to go on his trip to India said this when he retweeted a tweet by gay rights activists, Peter Tatchell, who wrote that;
India: A new #Bollywood rom-com featuring a gay romance is hoping to win over older people, following the decriminalisation of homosexuality. Hurrah! ow.ly/mcQs50yro76 @TheQueerAsia @beinglgbti @cadrsunilgupta @NazProjectLdn

This was however followed by a skeptical tweet by Tatchell, who questioned the genuineness of US President’s retweet.
He wrote;
“I hope this is the beginning of President Trump’s genuine embrace of LGBT+ rights & not just a PR stunt,”
