This year, Sahodari has been an important part of the Chennai LGBT pride month celebrations. For the first time in Chennai, LGBT Pride month celebrations are happening and the response had been very good. The LGBT community of Chennai has come together and we will also have a Pride March on June 28th and the permission had been already obtained. Aptly named 'Chennai Rainbow Parade' this is the first time, people will come out openly as Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transgenders and gender variance of all types. Sahodari is very much a part of the celebrations, right from being on the panel discussion of Human Rights Watch Report to artistic performances and expressions to mark the participation in the pride month celebrations.

We will also be officially representing the Transgender Community in the media this month. This is an occasion to thank the Tamilnadu government for their support for the Transgender community’s welfare in the state. Sahodari thanks the government on behalf of the transgender people of Tamilnadu and we stand as a strong supporter for the Gays, Lesbians and Bisexual people’s rights in our country.
