The rainbow flag of the LGBTQ community took pride of place in the city yesterday, as Mumbaikars rejoiced the Supreme Court's momentous ruling. At least 200 people had gathered at Carter Road to celebrate the long-awaited verdict, wearing looks of part relief and part jubilation on their faces.

At Vakola, Santacruz, 'azaadi' was the common chant among members of the LGBTQ community and activists from the NGO Humsafar Trust. They celebrated on the road, playing the country dhol as they walked till the University of Mumbai campus in Kalina.
