Mumbaiu2019s Pride parade is a no- go this year, in so far as the organisers had initially planned it to be. The police have denied permission for the march that was meant to start at August Kranti Maidan and end at Girgaum Chowpatty. Their reason? u201c Informationu201d that it will be hijacked by anti- CAA protestors. The only olive branch the cops have now offered is a nod for a u201c solidarity gatheringu201d at Azad Maidan from 3 pm to 6 pm this evening. That might seem like a consolation prize. But it still doesnu2019t stop us from celebrating the fact that whether we are gay, straight, bisexual or gender- neutral, we are all stakeholders in a society where u2014 legally u2014 we are meant to be treated equally. So check out this curated list of parties that have been planned to celebrate the occasion. And wear your sexual orientation proudly on your sleeve as you shake a leg with like- minded people.
