20 Pictures From The Delhi Pride Parade That Show How India Is Changing For Good

A testimony for a more inclusive and tolerant society, Pride Parades have started to become a routine affair in India. Just one week after the ‘Namma Pride Parade‘ in Bengaluru, New Delhi organised its ninth annual ‘Queer Pride Parade’ on Sunday, November 27. The parade was organised in solidarity with the ‘LGBTQIA’ community to make a united call for gender equality.

The march was called by the Delhi Queer Pride Committee and saw hundreds of people coming together, draped in rainbow colours, asking for a homophobia-free society. Take a look at some of the most stunning pictures from the event.

‘Dilwalo ki Dilli’ came out and supported the great cause wholeheartedly. Events like these raise hopes for a more open and inclusive society. Sure, there is a long way to go before we become a nation that respects every individual irrespective of their sexual orientation, but this for sure, is a positive step forward.
