Taking pride in our identities

Mumbaikars were gearing up for the city's Pride parade when news filtered in that the police might put a spanner in the plans. But that still doesn't mean that you can't have a party to celebrate how all humans are equal regardless of gender and sexual orientation. Attend a post-Pride bash planned at a Lower Parel venue. And it doesn't matter if you're straight. Everyone's invited. Just ensure you book in advance.

On February 1, 7 pm
At LILT, Lower Parel.
