Gay pride rally turns curious heads in Bangalore

Link
5/29/2008

"Bangalore, June 29 (IANS) On a breezy Sunday afternoon, about 600-700
gays, lesbians, bisexuals, trans-genders and their frenzied supporters
caused a flutter in India's IT hub by staging a colourful "pride
rally" to observe the Stonewall Riots Day under the watchful eye of a
vigilant police. The two-hour rally, flagged off from a city college
grounds in upscale Basavangudi suburb, once populated by conservative
Brahmins, culminated at Town Hall for a public meeting to the beats of
drums, blaring music and a native dance by about 100 activists
comprising hijras, kothis (feminine homosexuals) and 'double-dekkers'
(local term for transsexuals)."
