The western Indian state of Gujarat held its first ever gay pride parade last Sunday following in the steps of other Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Kolkata.
Following a tip-off, the police raided a gay party held in a bungalow in northern Mumbai early on Sunday and detained 133 people – including several celebrities – on the charge of indecent behaviour, two party organisers for not having the requisite liquor licence, and the DJ for not having the licence to play music beyond permissible hours.
About 2,000 people took to the streets of Mumbai on Sunday for the city's annual and second Pride parade, the first pride parade held in India after the Delhi High Court in July ruled that outlawing gay sex acts was discriminatory and a "violation of fundamental rights."
India's Supreme Court has refused to temporarily suspend a lower court's verdict legalising gay sex among consenting adults while it hears two petitions seeking to have the high court's decision overturned.
The Times of India – the world's largest-selling English broadsheet newspaper – and numerous other media outlets in the country hail the Delhi High Court's verdict which legalised sexual relations among gay men.

I'm a relationship oriented guy. Versatile, HIV-, no drugs, no drama. Love to laugh. Live right on a lake and enjoy the water. Love to explore, and the DC area has lots of interesting things to see and do. Looking for a decent looking guy, 24 - 39, whose mind is working, has a decent sense of humor and some adventure in him. Someone who says what he means and means what he says.
