New Delhi: Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community yesterday held a march in the city demanding an end to the discrimination which is still being faced by them despite the decriminalisation of gay sex.





Carrying rainbow-coloured flags, the demonstrators marched to the beat of traditional Indian drums, calling for equal rights for them in the country.

The parade culminated at Jantar Mantar, where the demonstrators distributed rainbow-coloured flags and badges among the members of the public.

In 2009, Delhi High Court had decriminalised gay sex, which until then had been punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
