In 2017, Dehradun saw it's first pride parade, we are excited to share the news that we will be having the second pride parade of this city in the month of August. Every step is a milestone for us, we strengthen our fight for equity and rights.
This year is important for us because of the judgement which came on 6th September, 2018 and the regressive transgender persons ( Protection of Rights) bill and the surrogacy bill which is due in the parliament.
This pride, we hope to bring the community members together at one platform and create safe space for the members of the community. We aim to create pride an inclusive event that brings the community together to cherish the Navtej Singh Johar judgement and raise their voice against the regressive anti-queer legislation in the parliament.
The funds will be primarily used for the logistics and procurement relating to the pride for example- Pride Float, Pride Flags, Audio, badges and other items relating to the pride.
Please help us in making our pride possible. Any amount, no matter how big and small is appreciated.
Thank you,
Queerly Yours,
Team Dehradun Queer Pride.
