{{quote|As a [[queer]] person, there can be times when you can feel lonely, but after I started talking about it, many have written to me and identify with the things I talk about. I'm going to speak the truth in an articulate, honest and beautiful way. Even after I'm gone, I am going to leave enough content behind through my work. The more people start presenting themselves authentically, the more people will get used to having different types of people around.<ref name="Sharma">{{Cite web |title=Durga Gawde: My parents have always regarded me as both their son & daughter |author=Sharma, Garvita |work=The Times of India |date=21 September 2018 |access-date=15 April 2021 |url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/spotlight/durga-gawde-my-parents-have-always-regarded-me-as-both-their-son-daughter/articleshow/65887658.cms}}</ref>}} | |||
