Keralam is celebrating its first Queer Pride at Thrissur on July 2nd. Queer Pride is celebrated around the world by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people and their supporters. Queer Pride is a celebration. It is about loving who we are, whether lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, hijra or straight and affirming every-one's right to be respected.
July 2nd of 2009 is the day when the Delhi High court decriminalized homosexuality by rereading section 377 of Indian Penal code. We celebrate pride on this day as we see the judgment as a historical moment in the lives of queer people.

Vathil used to be a queer support group in Keralam. we can be contacted at vathilakam@gmail.com. This blog used to update vathil activities, but as members moved out, now this remains as an internet forum
Hurray, hurrah to you in Kerala! Pride, rights and responsibilities for all humanity.
