An 18-year-old Indian girl committed suicide after her family refused to accept her sexual orientation.<\/p>\n
The second-year student of arts stream was found hanging from a ceiling fan at her residence leaving a note to explain her actions.<\/p>\n
The teenager disclosed in her suicide note that she was lesbian. The victim had further said that it was not possible for her to marry a man and live a happy life.<\/p>\n
The girl has also stated in her suicide note that opting to end her life by suicide seemed to be a happier idea to her than adopting a lifestyle to which she is not naturally inclined.<\/p>\n
She apologized to her parents for her actions in the note.<\/p>\n
Following her suicide, a post-mortem examination was conducted on Monday, and her body was released to her parents for the last rites. They then took her to their village for the funeral.<\/p>\n
The incident has sent shock waves among members of the same-sex community.<\/p>\n
Police said the teenager failed to find support from her parents after they found out she was a lesbian.<\/p>\n
While the parents disapproved of her gender preferences, she too refused to budge, said sub-inspector Nitin Vithole from Gittikhadan police station, who visited the suicide spot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe teenager took the drastic step when the family was away. The father was the first to spot her hanging body,\u201d said Vithole.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
