ObjectivesThe following are the demands and objectives of the Queer Azadi March:
HistoryPride marches have been held annually in Mumbai since 2005, however, it got its official name Queer Azaadi March in 2008.[4] 2008The first Queer Azaadi March was held on 16 August, a day after the Independence Day of India, with about 500 people participating in it. It was flagged off by Indian actress Celina Jaitly.[5] The theme of this march was freedom from Section 377 of Indian Penal Code (IPC).[6] During the march, Mahendra Singh Gohil, known as "India's first gay prince" gave a speech and demanded an apology from the British for including Section 377 in IPC.[5][7] 2009The Pride parade was held on 16 August, with Celina Jaitly flagging off the march for the second year in a row.[8] With over 500 people turning up, gay activists claimed it to be one of the biggest pride marches in the country.[9] 2011The fourth Queer Azaadi March was held on 29 January with the Queer Azaadi Mumbai Pride Week (from 22–29 January) preceding it. It was inaugurated by Anand Grover, founder of Lawyers’ Collective, who has also represented Naz Foundation since 2001. Another person to inaugurate was Vivek Patil, chief-executive of Humsafar Trust, the oldest LGBTQ organization in India. The Pride Week, held for the first time in the Mumbai march, included festivities, like QAM Mela and drag shows, play readings, shopping, panel discussions and films.[10] There were also live music and dance concerts at the Carter Road open auditorium and the SNDT University at Juhu. This pride became famous for it Pride Week and because people came in large numbers, with only a few wearing masks and being open about their identity.[11] 2012The fifth pride march was also held on 28 January. This year witnessed Asia’s first flash mob at the Pride Week celebrations.[12] More than 2000 queer individuals took part in the event that was a display of gay pride.[13] 2013The pride march was held on 2 February.[14] The events leading up to the pride march included a kite festival, Queer Games, literary events and concerts.[15] 2014This year the pride parade was held on 1 February and became the first parade to happen after the Supreme Court judgement of upholding Section 377 of IPC.[16] 2015This parade was held on 31 January with more than 6000 people participating in it.[17] There were also many parents there in support of their children and the LGBTQIH community. Vikram Doctor, a gay rights activist, claimed that while earlier there was an occasional presence of mothers, sisters or aunts of the a gay person, this time there were fathers and brothers too. The theme of this march was fakr (meaning pride). People could be seen dressed colorfully, with head gears, carrying balloons and flags of rainbow colors. There were also slogans, chanting and banners and posters opposing the Section 377 of IPC.[6] 2016The pride march was held on 6 February. It started from August Kranti Maidan continuing to Opera House, and then Kennedy Bridge, before looping back to the maidan. There were speeches from equal rights activists like Harish Iyer and Chitra Palekaras well as Manoj Bajpayee, the lead actor of Bollywood movie ‘Aligarh’. The crew of the movie and Mahendra Singh Gohil were part of the more than 7000 participants. The screenwriter of ‘Aligarh’, Apurva Asrani, even came out as gay for the first time during the walk. In the parade, people came dressed as drag queens, in jalabiyyahs, political figures from history and many other costumes.[18][19] 2017The ninth edition of the pride parade, held on 28 January, was the largest march of India yet with around 14000 people showing up.[20] The Pride Week was also extended to a month long celebration, with new initiatives of community building and focusing on minorities within the LGBTQIH community.[21] It was also Mumbai's first accessible pride walk. There were provisions like ramp to access the stage, sign language interpreters, and pick and drop services for people needing wheelchairs, as well as other volunteers to assist people with disabilities.[22] 2018The tenth edition of the Mumbai Pride Parade was held on 3 February 2018, with the theme #377QuitIndia. The theme, chosen by organisers Queer Azadi Mumbai, was a reference to Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.[23] This section criminalises "carnal intercourse against the order of nature", often used as an instrument to prosecute homosexuality.[24] The March began from August Kranti Maidan (where the Quit India Movement was launched from) and ended at Girgaum Chowpatty beach.[25] The Mumbai Pride organisers provided for sign language interpreters and mobi-cabs to enhance access to the disabled. This tenth edition of the Pride coincided with the 75th anniversary of the Quit India Movement and the organisers linked the event to the Quit India Movement to amplify the call for freedom from oppressive legislation.[26] This was commemorated with the release of 'stamps' by organisers as each event logo. Indian corporate Godrej will be supporting the effort and organising some events. In addition to parties, a number of events were organised as part of a Pride month leading up to the Pride Parade:
With around 10,000 individuals, the event continued to show strongth growth in the number of participants. Moreover, participants are increasingly comfortable revealing their identities, and fewer resorting to the use of masks.[28] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://mumbaipride.in/?page_id=526|title=Organizations {{!}} Mumbai Pride {{!}} Queer Azaadi Mumbai|last=http://mumbaipride.in|first=|date=|website=mumbaipride.in|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-06-18}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://wonderfulmumbai.com/mumbai-queer-azaadi-mumbai-gay-pride-parade-on-jan-28-2012/|title=Mumbai Queer Azaadi, Mumbai Gay Pride Parade on Jan 28, 2012 {{!}} Wonderful Mumbai|website=wonderfulmumbai.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-06-30}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://wonderfulmumbai.com/mumbai-queer-azaadi-mumbai-gay-pride-parade-on-jan-28-2012/|title=Mumbai Queer Azaadi, Mumbai Gay Pride Parade on Jan 28, 2012 {{!}} Wonderful Mumbai|website=wonderfulmumbai.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-06-30}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-the-masks-come-off-at-gay-pride-rally-1500728|title=The masks come off at gay pride rally {{!}} Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis|date=2011-01-30|work=dna|access-date=2017-06-18|language=en-US}} 5. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://archive.mid-day.com/news/2008/aug/170808-gay-march.htm|title=Pride, no prejudice|website=archive.mid-day.com|access-date=2017-06-18}} 6. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-rainbow-streaks-through-mumbai-2057196|title=Rainbow streaks through Mumbai {{!}} Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis|date=2015-02-01|work=dna|access-date=2017-06-18|language=en-US}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Mumbai_Gays_march_against_Sec_377/rssarticleshow/3372438.cms|title=LGBT activists protest against Section 377 -
