Thousands of people, including members of the LGBTQ community and supporters, gathered at Delhi’s Barakhamba Road and marched till Jantar Mantar, celebrating, dancing, singing and holding banners and placards with bold and unique slogans on them, some of which read, ‘Queer And Proud’, ‘Protect Love’, ‘Born Gay, Follow The Ray, Born Straight, Refuse To Hate’.

“It is my first at the Delhi Pride Parade. It’s good energy and fun here,” said Vikas, a supporter at the parade to News18.com.
