Dear Friends,
Keralam is celebrating its second Queer Pride at Thrissur on July 2nd, 2011. Queer Pride is celebrated around the world by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people and their supporters. Queer Pride is a celebration. It is about loving who we are, whether lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, hijra or straight and affirming every-one's right to be respected.
July 2nd of 2009 is the day when the Delhi High court decriminalized homosexuality by rereading section 377 of Indian Penal code. We celebrate pride on this day as we see the judgment as a historical moment in the lives of queer people.
We will gather at the Vidyarthi Corner(Located inside the Thekkinkadu Kshethra Maithanam, Thrissur) at 3.30PM and the Pride Parade will start from there at 4PM and will end at the Kerala Sahithya Academy- Basheer Vedi at 5.30PM. Then we will gather there for the public meeting and the cultural programmes by the community members and supporters.
