This is so amazing, would love to see a rally like this in Karachi

There was a small LGBT rally in karachi previous year, but bubble busted when LGBT party held in american embassy, but things are changing slowly as transgenders are getting registered as voters next step will be government job. Things are moving forward in our own context.

Forget it, this will never happen in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. We should thank Allah everyday for partition. Pakistan Zindabad.

@Saima:
It will never happened in Pakistan Inshallah. Indian new generation has forgotten their culture but We won’t Inshallah.

@Anosh Khan:
What culture? Gun culture? Or the culture of mixing inshallah into everything? When will pak give freedom, repect and security to all its children?

India heading towards TRUE spirit of freedom. Congratulations to all Indian LGBT. I am in Pakistan and I don’t think it will ever happen here.I support freedom and I support right to life as one wishes to.

Fact: Rights movements never die down. They only grow stronger. A rights activist is the perishable embodiment of an immortal idea, that keeps finding new individuals to posses.

@Faraz Talat : Loved your comment. :)
@Sonia Wahab : Thanks. I also believe in the freedom of every human being so that he/she can freely choose (without fear) what is best for him/her. And I believe it will happen in every country of the world, including yours. :)

Way to go!
Beautiful pictures!
Freedom in its true sense.

What The… WHAT?

@Anosh Khan: Oh no, you are mistaken. India has a huge population that sticks to its old ways of bigotry and uneducated hatred. And I believe even in Pakistan there are people who are moving towards the light.Recommend
@Faraz Talat:
Awesome, well said:) very nice.
Recommend
I dont think that this event anyway reflects India. Its as “real” India as Bollywood.
Recommend
It is good to see that India upholds individual freedom for people to live the way they want in their private lives. Let the gay people live in peace.
There used to be an old artifact of archaic British India 1800′s law in the Indian Penal code that prohibited homosexuality though it was never enforced before or after independence. If I am not mistaken, that law was removed in India a few years ago.

@Sindhi-Pakistani:
Pakistan has no place for faggots or dykes…All Pakistani men who like to be women should move to India…
Recommend
Awesome! This will encourage the Pakistani people to follow suit, or at the least be hopeful PK one day will recognize LGBT rights. Everyone should have a right to choose the way they want to live their life. Is it not the the principal PK was formed under? Live & Let Live!!

Marriage culture which absent in the West just because of this evil; now they are hitting our culture. Hindo society revered this bond. No we won’t follow the suit now. The day they give licence to marry with dogs and bitches, then we’ll start giving gays their rights. What rights a gay need!Recommend
