Mobilised by the Telangana Transgender and Hijra Association, the march drew its energy from the murder of Pravallika, a hijra sex worker with an MBA, the previous month, and saw attendance of transgender men and women from the working class. The march was renamed Queer Swabhimana Pride, where 'swabhimana' stands for self-respect. The third Hyderabad, and the first Telangana, queer pride was held on 8 February 2015. There were difficulties with the march, which was stopped by the police 10 minutes after its start and resumed after proper documents were checked. The second Hyderabad queer pride was held on 23 February 2014, flagged off by actress Lakshmi Manchu and ended at Shilpa Kala Vedika. The participants were mostly youngsters marching from PV Narasimha Rao’s Samadhi to the People’s Plaza. Named the Hyderabad Queer Pride 2013, the event was initiated by 42 organisations, consisting a mixture of LGBT support groups and NGOs like Suraksha as well as corporate groups like Facebook, Google, GE, Accenture and others. 2013 įor the first time ever, Necklace Road was opened up for a cultural events. The LGBTQI culture in Hyderabad is seen as a threat to the existing cultural fabric. Hyderabad is a conservative city in terms of culture and takes pride in its culture, which is highly influenced by the Nizams.
