Answer

Shakuntala Devi's first study was about homosexuality in India. In 1974, she published a paper in the British Journal of Psychiatry entitled "Homosexuality in India". She argued that homosexuality was not a mental illness, and that it should not be criminalised. She also argued that homosexuals should be allowed to marry and have children.
