Actress Huma Qureshi has joined an online poetic campaign to spread awareness about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Ishq ki Ijaazat is a film poem by Satyanshu and Devanshu Singh.

“I believe everyone should have the freedom to choose for themselves,” Qureshi said in a statement.

A statement said the initiative was not an angry outburst against article 377 that criminalises homosexuality. It is a poetic campaign to urge people to bring love into the open and not focus on sexual preferences. It is about a basic right that every human being deserves — to be able to love with dignity and not prejudice, a statement said.
