I was wondering just the other day whether we would ever have gay pride parades in India. I echo Amrita's sentiments: that it went off well is something the city should be proud off. I'm pleasantly surprised at the political and administrative non-interference. How completely awesome is that?!

Great to see that the police were non-troublesome. I wonder if something like this can happen in Hyderabad. Suspect not. Amazing. Great to see that the police were non-troublesome.

The fact that it seems to have gone off that well is something for the city to take pride in too. Oh excellent!

Why is there so much of ridicule about sexual preference? Because people in the society who think/call themselves normal, consider everything else that doesn't confirm with their sense of normalcy, as WEIRD, ABNORMAL, UNNATURAL...UNACCAPTABLE and an object to RIDICULE! Who decides what is normal, what is natural? People or majority of people who see themselves as falling under a category of like attributes...denote every other attribute in human nature that seems different from theirs, as unnatural. If we all are a part of God's creation, and we accept that we all are different in one way or the other, why should it be difficult for mankind to accept a basic difference in sexual preference? Who are we to question God's Creation? Well, this one had me stirred up too…can I share some thoughts that I had a chance to listen to, not too long ago…?
