Over thousands of people from the LGBTQ community and supporters joined along and condemned the Transgender Bill 2019. People held posters, dressed in colourful attires, marched with the rainbow-coloured flag to voice their support of trans rights. Social media was buzzing with pictures of people from pride.

The Transgender Bill was tabled at the Rajya Sabha last week and wanted to get the transgender community in highlight. However, the queer community is not in favour because it ignores many grievances and there are fewer provisions to address them. However, this time around, it wasn't the only issue that the community addressed. The parade took a political turn and touched upon the issues of Kashmir, JNU fee hike protests, NRC among many others. Among all "Love is Love" slogans, there was a certain amount of hate too.
