    20 Reasons The Mumbai LGBT Pride Parade Was Fabulous

    "Queer Azaadi", the official name of the event, means "queer freedom" in English. The 4th annual LGBT pride parade was held in Mumbai on 1st of Feb 2014. It was a huge success with hundreds of people marching through Mumbai, stopping traffic and handing out flyers. Well done for taking a stand in a country where gay sex is still illegal.
