Abstract
Abstract This paper argues that gay dating platform-facilitated crimes and abuses in India are produced and perpetuated by structural queerphobia and sex-negativity in Indian society. We illustrate how sex-negativity and queerphobia are embedded in Indian families, neighborhoods, criminal law, and the criminal justice system, which help produce/exacerbate these crimes. We offer some recommendations as to how these can be changed and posit that future empirical studies should focus on reforming societal structures producing/exacerbating these crimes. We also suggest that framing safe dating advice in a more sex-positive light will reduce self-blame and better address these issues. Overall, we contend that a sex-positive queer-criminological theoretical lens will offer more effective approaches on which to base preventative measures and assist in supporting those experiencing such crimes.
