Queer Azaadi Mumbai March – Saturday, January 29, 2011
M A R C H……with Bombay's queers and straight supporters on the 29th January, 
2011 from August Kranti Maidan to Girgaum Chowpatty.
Time : 3PM (Assemble @ AK Maidan) to 6PM
Make your travel plans , apply for that leave, get your gear ready to flaunt it 
out in the Mumbai Pride March!
We march with the following demands:
	* The 377 case  will now be heard in the Supreme Court, hence our demand for 
this law to be read down continues The Constitution must include provisions to 
deal with all discrimination on the grounds of sexuality or gender.
	* Those amongst us who are transgendered are not recognised by society. Equal 
citizenship rights and opportunities should be extended to all who do not fit 
into either of the two categories of male and female.
	* The medical establishment must be made aware of the reality of our lives and 
our needs, and cease all insensitive and cruel attempts to 'cure' us.
	* Every individual is under tremendous pressure to marry a person of the 
opposite sex, as marriage is seen as a must in our society. We must join forces 
in a campaign against all such  forced marriages.
	* We call for an end to homophobia and transphobia. We want freedom from 
violence and hate within families, in educational institutions, at places of 
work and in public spaces. We especially demand that fundamentalist forces stop 
abusing us and poisoning people's minds against us.
