The Quint was at the eighth Delhi Queer Pride which was organised on 29 November 2015. Hundreds of people marched from Barakhamaba Road to Jantar Mantar, dancing to heady drum beats, and raising slogans for an inclusive society, and a better world.
Not only LGBTQIA people, but also individuals from various walks of life participated in this year’s Pride, which focussed on several raging issues that has gripped social and political discourse in the country – from intolerance to moral policing. We bring you the Pride, as we saw it through our camera lens.

As Emma Goldman once wrote,
If I can’t dance, it’s not my revolution!
If I can’t dance, I don’t want your revolution!
If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution.
A revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having.
If there won’t be dancing at the revolution, I’m not coming.
And what’s Pride without a selfie?
So, here’s wishing you a very happy Pride!
