A chopper ride to a Valentine’s Day date. First date at the dog park. Eloping from the mandap of an arranged marriage to be with your lover of 10 years. These are not the plotlines of Shah Rukh Khan movies, but real-life queer love stories! Check out the Museum of Queer Swipe Stories (@queerswipestories) to read the most endearing accounts of meet-cutes and romantic adventures of the LGBTQIA+ community in India. Run by the Gaysi Family in collaboration with Tinder India, these are stories of couples who met each other online as well as out in the wild, from clicking with your co-passenger on a flight, to matching with someone on an app and texting them non-stop. Each post is a mini love story; we like to think of it as a one-minute respite when life gets too hectic or frustrating. These are stories of queer joy, green flags, and forever afters that will melt your heart and make you believe in love again.
