Chennai Rainbow Pride Parade 2023 | Dt Next
Hundreds of LGBTQIA+ community members and allies came together to celebrate Pride Month and participate in the Chennai Rainbow Pride and Self Respect Walk 2023 on Sunday.
Organised by the Tamil Nadu Rainbow Coalition, the march was characterised by high levels of energy, dance and chanting with everyone present in their pride best. The march, which began outside Rajarathinam Stadium in Egmore and continued down Langs Garden Road, was a space of freedom, as one march-goer said. “It is liberating to dress the way we want and to be open about our love for each other,” said a same-sex couple in coordinating outfits.
“We are asking for social recognition, which only the government and law can give us. Therefore, the legalisation of same-sex marriage can lead to a lot of benefits from sharing properties to bank accounts. It can also result in a bonding within the community because as long as it not legalised, there will be break-ups, suicides and poor mental health,” said Sharan Karthick Raj, founder, Tamil Nadu LGBTIQ Movement.
