(30 Nov 2014) Nearly a thousand gay rights activists marched through central New Delhi on Sunday to demand an end to discrimination against gays in India's deeply conservative society.
Holding balloons, flags and placards, activists and their supporters sang songs and danced to the beat of Indian drums as they held hands and walked in Sunday's rally.
Some activists carried a 15-metre (50-foot) rainbow-coloured banner, a symbol of lesbian, gay and transgender pride.
Gays are demanding that the government remove a colonial-era law banning same-sex relations.
India's Supreme Court last year reversed a lower court order that de-criminalised gay sex.
Supporters of gays, lesbians and transsexuals vowed on Sunday to continue pressing for the removal of a law that makes gay sex punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
