Thousands of people joined the 11th Namma Pride parade and danced in the streets in colorful outfits to celebrate the city’s LGBTI community Bangalore the capital of south-western state of Karnataka.
The ‘Coalition for Sex workers, Sexual & Sexuality Minorities’ Rights (CSMR) – Bengaluru’ which is a coalition of many LGBTQI organizations and allied groups across Karnataka organizes the annual parade.
