The parade usually runs from Barakhamba Road to Tolstoy Marg to Jantar Mantar. The queer pride parade is a yearly festival to honour and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (the whole queer community), and their supporters. 4th Annual Delhi Queer Pride Parade, November 2011.ĭelhi Queer Pride Parade is organised by members of the Delhi Queer Pride Committee every last Sunday of November since 2008.
