I’m gay, that’s okay. I’m trans, that’s okay, I’m straight, that’s okay’…these slogans were chanted at the fourth edition of Nagpur Pride organised at Samvidhan Chowk on Saturday by hundreds of LGBTQIA members and their heterosexual supporters in the city. But this year’s Pride was organised without music, dhol or dance as a mark of respect to the CRPF jawans martyred at Pulwama. “We were on the verge of cancelling the event after the terrorist attack in Kashmir, but then we decided in unison to stand with the entire nation to pay homage to the martyrs through a silent walk. It is heartening that Keshav Suri foundation support us in this endeavour. We are Indians first; community comes later,” shared one of the main organisers of the Pride and gay rights activist Anand Chandrani.
