Summary

Description

For the 2011 Los Angeles Pride, I marched with a pan-Asian delegation, to show my support for LGBT rights in Asian communities of Southern California.

This group is made up of LGBT activists of South Asian background, and the banner shows the nationalities covered. "Satrang" means rainbow, which has come to be the symbol of the LGBT rights movement.

South Asian cultures show tremendous variety, and many, if not most, had significant LGBT traditions, such as the hijras of India. However, changing times have made the cultures concerned less accepting of LGBTs; India had to deal with Christianity and Victorian moral codes brought in by British colonizers while Afghanistan had to deal with extremist Islam.
