Today was the LGBT Pride Celebration in San Francisco, where I'm working this summer. Many other cities, including NY, also hold Pride celebrations on the last of weekend of June, so I thought I'd make a page to talk about it, if any others went to a celebration.
July 2nd, 2010 marked the first year anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexual sex in India. It was also the day of the third annual pride parade in Delhi, which was less a parade and more a presentation of poetry, song, and dance. The historic Supreme Court decision was also recited throughout the event.
There were probably more cameramen and reporters than participants. Before the event officially kicked off, they would swarm couples and groups if they were posing for a picture together, showing any PDA, or wearing anything provocative. People didn't feel entirely safe. Mardi Gras masks were passed out to cover faces and there were too many police officers. Still, it was a really fun event bringing together activists, allies, and the LGBTQ community.
