In a bustling city, there existed a close-knit group of friends, all part of the LGBTQ+ community. They called themselves the "Rainbow Squad" or simply "Kambi" (meaning "group" in some South Asian languages). This diverse group of individuals, all identifying as gay, had come together through mutual friends and shared experiences.
