Good As You is a support and social group for LGBT people and others questioning their gender and sexuality in Bangalore. It started in 1994 and is one of the longest surviving groups that advocates equal rights for homosexuals and other gender and sexual minorities in Bangalore.[1][2]
In 1994, a few LGBT rights activists gathered at a local restaurant and decided to have a discussion forum for the sexual minorities at Bangalore. Within a week, it was decided that the group name would be Good As You, and meetings started taking place weekly. Samraksha, an AIDS counselling center, provided their office space for the meetups.[3] Currently the weekly meetups happen at Swabhava office. Since Covid-19 Pandemic, the meetings happen both online and offline.
Good As You provides legal and moral support. Counselling is provided for LGBT people and other sexual minorities as well as HIV infected people.[7]
