Delhi
Queer Pride Turns 5 on Nov 25th!
The Delhi Queer Pride is turning five this
year! Like every year, the march will bring together members and supporters of
the queer community to celebrate our diversity and stand in solidarity with those
who face persecution and violence because of their gender or sexual
identity.
In our fifth year, we are planning
fundraisers, floats, picnics and a lot of masti in the run-up to the march. Given
that Pride has also always been about our lives and struggles, we turn our
attention to one aspect that oppresses us all – the strait-jacket of gender. We
open out the possibilities with our theme – Genders. We’re also revealing a great new logo to match our
increasing fabulousness!
So Mark the Date:
25th November 2012 is our day to shout aloud and walk
proud!
To make all this happen, we need your
support! The Delhi Queer Pride march continues to be organized and funded
entirely by the queer and queer-friendly community members who donate time,
effort and money to make it happen every year. The DQP organizing committee
would like to reach out to all of you, as well as to the friends, family and
well-wishers of our queer community. Your presence is always your support, but
if you would like to donate, volunteer or otherwise help out, please write to
delhiqueerpride@gmail.com.
We kick-start the Pride events this year
with a fundraising party!! Do come
to be part of the fun, bring all your friends, and donate generously!
When:
2nd November, 2012
Where:
Spoons Bistro,
3,
Local Shopping Complex, Near JMD Mall, GK II
Rules: The entry fee is Rs 300, but feel free to give what you can! Come in your fine feather boas, saris, hot pants -- all
are welcome.
And here are some of the other fun things
in the pipeline for November! Watch this space for detailed updates about when
and where!
Queer
Mela – a space to meet, have fun, shop till you
drop and get in the mood for Pride.
Seminar – a one-day conference to discuss where we are right now as a queer
community, especially focusing on issues of queer genders.
Press
Conference – Our tryst with the media to ensure
that we make the news and it's news we can all use!
Placard-Making – join us for a romp in the Lodhi Gardens
for a relaxed Sunday afternoon of making placards to infuse more colour and
meaning into the march. Bring the wittiest, funniest, most relevant and most
compelling slogans you can think of, and join us to put 'em on paper.
Post-Pride
Picnic – End the march with some good food,
gubbaras and games as we watch the sun go down on another day in queer life in Delhi.
We are also inviting everyone to contribute
to the Pride celebrations by organizing their own events during November to
celebrate, stand in solidarity and engage more people in our cause. Do let us
know if you are organising a queer event in November and if our great minds
think alike, we’ll be happy to include it in our online calendar. We strongly
believe that pride events should be inclusive and accessible to all across the
range of gender identities and behaviours. Please see our blog for more details.
DQP committee members meet on Sunday
evenings to plot the eventual take-over of the city. Want to join in and help
with events or share your ideas? Then send a mail to: delhiqueerpride@gmail.com
to get involved. Otherwise, see you at Delhi Queer Pride!

That’s a great blog! Great focus on Indian real estate industry. Your writing style is truly informative. Just wanted to buzz in about my builder GGproperties. I am happy with flat layout and amenities, although construction did take time just like any other Indian builders due to climatic conditions, and other unavoidable delays. Plus, heard a lot of ill comments about such an established 16 year old builder- wonder why …when they are far better than most of the other property developers, I’ve seen in the market.
