Photo Walk through the Gay Pride Parade, Delhi
by on 30 Jul 2009
These pictures capture the Sunday Gay Pride march down Barakhamba Road in Delhi. There was a band, funky outfits, gay rights slogans, and dancing. The marches happened in Delhi, Bangalore, and Bombay, right before section 377 of the constitution came under reconsideration. In a landmark Delhi High Court judgment, in July 2009, the court decriminalized gay sex between consensual adults from the penal code, upholding it as a fundamental right. Next day in the papers, Vikram Seth rejoiced over the courts “literary” judgment, while Baba Ramdev bandied strong words of disapproval.
