As India decriminalises gay sex, Radio City RJ goes for a pride walk with LGBTQ community

 

Indian network Radio City’s Mumbai station organized a pride walk following the historical verdict announced last week by the country’s Supreme Court of India on Section 377, decriminalizing sex between consenting adults of the same gender.

The event called ‘Radio City's 'City Ki Pride – #FreeHugs' took place on Monday, where its breakfast host RJ Archana set out on a pride walk in Bandra East area of Mumbai, with members of the LGBTQA community.

The members joining in for the walk included famous fashion designer Rohit Verma, Social worker for transgender rights, Vicky Shinde, Mr. Gay India (Runner-Up) 2017, Darshan Mandhana and others from LGBTQA groups like 'Rainbow Tigers' and 'Humsafar'.

The idea behind the activity was to celebrate the verdict by spreading the message of #LoveisLove and members of the community giving out free hugs to all.

The contingent held placards saying ‘Love is Love’, ‘Love knows no gender’ and Pride flags while offering Free Hugs.

 RJ Archana said: “We, at Radio City, have always been a propagator of equal rights for all and no discrimination towards any one based on their gender or sexuality. Now that the Supreme Court has accepted them, it is the common people who need to show their love and support to the LGBTQA community, and I am really proud and urge everyone to spread the love and joy to all.”
