  • Established in June 2007, the Lesbian Association of India (LAI) is a United Kingdom-based organisation working to support lesbian and bisexual women in India, which has a population of 1.12 billion. There are many independent or small organisations working for LGBT groups in larger cities within India, however many states and smaller cities are without such organisations. The LAI is believed to be the first organisation of its kind which openly plans to provide services to the entire country. Talking about Pune, the city in Maharastra where the first center will be established, founder Molly Blackburn notes, "while there were groups for gay men in India, there was nothing for women". Its aims in India are summed up thus: “ Supporting lesbian and bisexual women, empowering them to live safely and positively within their community! Educating key players in society. We work to educate and support, not to confront or protest! ”
