Censor Board clears LGBT music video

New Delhi, Apr 21 (IBNS): The Censor Board of Film Certification has approved India's first music video dedicated to the LGBT community-Head Held High (by Friends of Linger) without seeking any edits to the original video.

In effect, even the near intimate scene between two women or the usage of the word ‘gay’ continues to be part of the music video.

 
With this approval, the video can now be aired by television channels anywhere in India. 
 
The only restriction is that those under the age of 12 should view the video under parental guidance as it has been given a (U/A) rating.
 
The music video dedicated to the LGBT community spreads the message of love and acceptance being central to its theme. It brings out the different elements of a human being be it despondency, confusion, frustration or confidence, joy and triumph.
