In brief: Asia’s ‘gay Netflix’ makes its way to India

• LGBT+ video-streaming platform GagaOoLala, which calls itself Asia’s “gay Netflix,” plans to expand to India this year.
• Accessible via its website and mobile app, GagaOoLala provides unlimited access to LGBT+ films, TV series, and documentaries for about US$6 a month.
• The platform is available in 13 countries across Southeast Asia, including Taiwan and Hong Kong. Its foray into India follows the legalization of gay sex in the country in September 2018.
• GagaOoLala gets its name from a combination of two slang phrases used to describe gay people in Taiwan.
