As the eldest grandchild, painting his grandmother's nails and helping her wrap her sari to go out became a normal part of Rudolph "Rudy" Hanamji's childhood. Hanamji, the co-chair and co-founder of PrideTT felt just as comfortable making and flying kites with his grandfather. Surrounded by loving parents and other close family members, he went about his childhood routine unfettered and carefree. When his teenage years struck, he would find it difficult to come to terms with how the world would respond to him.
