Despite the scientific consensus that sexual orientation & gender identity is not a disorder, cannot be changed through treatment, and discrimination affects the mental health of queer people, news outlets continue to report a "survey" conducted by RSS-affiliate Samvardhinee Nyas
@scroll_in was kind enough to include the source of the study as an RSS affiliate in their headline. They failed to fact-check those claims and present the views of the scientific community.

@khabrimishra reporting for @the_hindu presented the findings of the RSS affiliate Samvardhinee Nyas without mentioning contravention of the scientific consensus. She blindly reported Ms Marathe's view that queer people pose a threat to women's safety.
@khabrimishra @the_hindu @DeeptimanTY reporting for @IndianExpress presented the findings without any mention of existing contrary scientific evidence. He seemed proud of the unsubstantiated clickbait title "gay couple's children delinquent."
@khabrimishra @the_hindu @DeeptimanTY @IndianExpress @IndiaToday presented the findings without any mention of existing contrary scientific evidence.

@khabrimishra @the_hindu @DeeptimanTY @IndianExpress @IndiaToday @livemint went as far as promoting Conversion Therapy in the headline, contrary to the views of the National Medical Commission, the Indian Psychiatric Society and other medical professional bodies.

@khabrimishra @the_hindu @DeeptimanTY @IndianExpress @IndiaToday @livemint @ttindia While @EconomicTimes presented the statement of the Indian Psychiatric Society as a view of the LGBTQ activists. They could have reviewed the evidence listed by activists and presented them as an authoritative fact instead of playing both-sides-ism.
@khabrimishra @the_hindu @DeeptimanTY @IndianExpress @IndiaToday @livemint @ttindia @EconomicTimes @NewIndianXpress playing the both-sides-ism. It's commendable they spoke to the queer people. However, presenting the scientific consensus of professional bodies as another side of the argument for an RSS-affiliate survey is bad journalism.
@khabrimishra @the_hindu @DeeptimanTY @IndianExpress @IndiaToday @livemint @ttindia @EconomicTimes @NewIndianXpress @mid_day followed @EconomicTimes & @NewIndianXpress in playing both-sides-ism.
