On December 11, 2013, the Supreme Court criminalised same sex in the country. Undeterred by this, when nearly 6,000 people walked on the streets of Mumbai on Saturday, it became one of the biggest Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) pride parades that the city had ever witnessed. A number of them were present with their parents, with some looking for the perfect match for their son or daughter. There were others who wished for a matrimonial for lesbians and gays, so they could find a match for themselves. There was even a couple that had got married yesterday in a traditional Marathi style.
