Month-long Pride Week from Jan 5

The Queer Azadi Mumbai (QAM), an LGBTQ movement, will have month-long events starting from January 5, 2018 till February 3.

The Pride March on February 3 is expected to be bigger and have more events compared to last years. Corporate giant Godrej will be organising a number of events.

"There will be queer networking and queer theatre now besides queer aethetics," said Parmesh Shahani, head of Godrej India Culture Lab, which is a culture space that the company started to promote culture conversation in city.

"Corporates have been talking to us but not many have opened up as yet," said Harish Iyer, an LGBTQ activist.

Section 377, which has often been an impediment, is the prime focus of QAM. The pride month will trend with the hashtag of #377QuitIndia. In a first, it will have a stage performance by Asmita Theatre Group and Harmless Hugs, in collaboration with Gay Bombay.

There will also be plays, questions and answer sessions and ways in which people from different cities can familiarise with each other.
