::OrrisaGoingPride::

I managed to capture the Pride moments at Bhubaneshwar this year and it was more of revisiting the first event at Bangalore last year. People giggled after the first few shouts of “Section 377 hai hai and Section 377 bye bye”, but there was no stopping them once they tasted the success of their own lung power! It was a small but colourful and vocal group (about a 100) – from several districts in the state. The walk was preceeded by a well attended seminar in the first half of the day, and ended with street theatre in a busy market place. What’s particularly encouraging was the participation by students and supporters right in the first walk.

Enjoy the pics.
