ABSTRACT
The chapter engages with the distance between jananas and other sexual identities in India and discusses the roles of class, literacy, and media access (including access to social media) in maintaining a subaltern position jananas. This chapter shows that jananas are rendered invisible by their lack of access to literacy and media, which emanates from their economic status. Faced with this, jananas use language and societal rules of heterosexual conduct to find a place to live in their marginalization.
