Glimpses From Mumbai Pride 2014

Queer Azaadi Mumbai (QAM) 2014, the pride march held in Mumbai is the first pride march to happen anywhere in India after Supreme Court re-criminalised homosexuality in the country. But if participation at QAM is anything to go by, queer Indians have let it known that they are not going back to the closet.

Here are a few pictures taken by Gaylaxy that capture the mood of the Mumbai pride march.

Like every year, people gathered at August Kranti Maidan, from where the march started

Harish Iyer on the QAM stage greeted them with his wit and messages

People marched holding rainbow flags

Ashok Row Kavi, a leading gay rights activist, too walks the pride in Mumbai

So does Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, a well known transgender activist who recently invited Rahul Gandhi for a proposed LGBT meet at Thane in Maharashtra

And there were some eye candies too

Some made political statements through their dress

While one was dressed as a Bengali groom, searching for his partner it seems

Others carried posters against the SC verdict of 11-12-3013

And some were just plain fashionable
