Maya the Drag Queen agrees that LGBTQ has made progress over recent years but people from the community still face almost endless numbers of obstacles. We still need to achieve marriage equality, adoption rights, insurance for same sex couples, rights for transgender community and so many more. He believes that education is essential and it is required at the moment. People are clueless about the community. He’s happy and glad that Lalit Group of Hotels and Keshav Suri Foundation are making initiatives to educate people through social media and other platforms.

As an artist, how do you influence fans? On this Maya the Drag Queen said, “I educate my fans either through a video or a post”. He would like his fans to learn more about the community. Right now, ignorance is rampant. Making an effort to know the LGBTQIA community and understand where they are coming from.

“Love liberates. I know it's difficult to give love. But at least, trying won't harm you in any way. Give and take love should be the motto” Maya the Drag Queen concluded with a message to the society.
