Live! Protest at Jantar Mantar at 4:30 pm today if you believe in gay rights

December 11, 2013 13:54

The Supreme Court has struck down the Delhi High Court decision decriminalizing gay sex in what might go down as the most retrograde judgement in India's history.

While the details of the Court's reasoning are still not available, we can perhaps easily imagine what they might be. This is time of civil disobedience. Time for protest.

Assemble at Jantar Mantar at 4.30 pm to announce to the world that 'We Are All Queer'.

To announce that this is not a struggle of just the 'gay-lesbian community' but a struggle for our most fundamental rights and cherished values.
