Here’s an funny quote from Delhi Queer Pride 2008
Hindu Muslim Sikh Isai Hetero Homo Bhai Bhai
meaning “Doesn’t matter if you are a Hindu or a Muslim or Sikh or a Christian (Isai), homosexuals and heterosexuals are brothers.”
Bhai = Brother in Hindi.
Apparently, they just took an old statement Indian government has been using for decades, calling for unity in diversity that goes like this
Hindu Muslim Sikh Isai Aapas mein hai Bhai Bhai
meaning “Doesn’t matter if you are a Hindu or a Muslim or Sikh or a Christian (Isai), we are all brothers amongst us.”
We are seeking the right to love. was basically the point, hundreds of homosexual rights activists that participated in India’s largest gay pride parade, were trying to make when they marched through the cities of Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore.
Things are obviously showing signs of changing. I knew there were gay people in India and i knew they didn’t want to come out even if they had the opportunity. What i didn’t know was that homosexuality was illegal there. That’s right. Illegal. You could get arrested for your sexual orientation.
Wow.
