Activists belonging to the lesbian gay bisexual transgender (LGBT) forums have called for banning Zefo products for being homophobic and discriminating against a woman for her sexual orientation.

The LGBT community decided to ban the company’s products after there were reports that a 25-year-old woman was sacked due to her sexual orientation on Wednesday. Zefo is an online furniture resale company in HSR Layout. The LGBT?community has also started a social media campaign to defame the company.

Addressing a media conference on Thursday, Romal Laisram, an activist, said, “The women, even if they are lesbians, have every right to choose how they want to lead their lives. It is important to know about the real issue and not delve into peripheries.”

Vidya, a representative of All Sorts of Queer,?Bangalore, said, “Society is running on the domains of patriarchy. The queer women, although these women are not, are doubly marginalised as they are looked down in society.”
