Warren Brown covers Mumbai Pride for Daily Xtra. Thousands of LGBT activists marched in the Feb 1 parade, despite the recent Indian Supreme Court ruling that reinstated a gan on gay sex.

Thousands of activists in Mumbai, India, marched in that city’s Pride parade Feb 1, in defiance of a recent setback that saw the Indian Supreme Court reinstate a ban on gay sex.

“We are proud that we are gay, and this is a celebration of that,” says Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, who was at the event.

In the above video, Warren Brown covers the parade. Watch for Brown’s upcoming feature article on Mumbai Pride, which will appear here on Daily Xtra.
