Thanks Chuck
Thanks Jess
Instead of a post about me, I thought I'd honor this day by sharing something about others from my neck of the woods. India is rising and shining. In the face of so much foot-dragging and political wrangling, our movement is alive and well. The slide show here will tell you just how!
http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore/slideshow_saying-it-with-pride_1269481As I've journeyed for 3 years with my lovely Brokie family, it's great to know that so many others have moved forward and found solace, support and solidarity in their own ways in their pockets of this vast country.
The other link I want to share is a blog post from a recent cyberfriend in Bangalore, covering the pride. And to draw your attention to the comments.
http://sanjukta.wordpress.com/2009/06/28/bangalore-queer-pride-march09-a-reportA woman Indira has commented showing you the kind of ignorance we deal with (hardly different across the globe is it?) and a brave and articulate 17 year old kid called Firebolt has taken her on! When there are kids like that around, you know there's hope.
Please do read it and comment if you feel like.
Thanks to my journey on the forum I traveled a road that led me to an intersection with all these amazing other pathways from different sources. Who would have ever know back then in 2006? It's incredible that we are all under the same rainbow sky!
