A Matter of Pride

The end of June marks the beginning of the gay pride campaign
And of course, this year, the New Delhi Pride Parade took pride of place
Upstaging dear old Calcutta [or Kolkata] as she is now called
Anyhow, Calcutta has pride of place for taking the first tentative steps
Way back in 2000, I think.
As for me, I missed the event again.
Anyway NEXT year I’ll be there in solidarity
With everyone… gay, straight, kothi, panthi, hijra, bi-, bicurious,
Or just HUMAN….
