Bandhu Milan

Bandhu Milan (Get Together) was celebrated by Sakha a Community Based Organization working for the rights and dignity of MSMs and Transgender (TG) on 22.03.09, at 34-Duplex, Sailashree Vihar, Bhubaneswar. This event was supported by SAATHI a national level organization working against HIV&AIDS. The event not only tried to showcase issues of concerns faced by MSMs and TGs but also tried to unite all the MSMs and TGs and provide them a forum to celebrate their sexuality and take pride in their identity.
What I liked best about this event was that all of us felt accepted and we did not feel as if we were different from others, and who we were and what we believed in were not sinful or a crime. Each of us had dressed up for the occasion as we wanted to, and danced away to the tunes as we wanted to. Subham the President of Sakha took the lead in making us feel at home.
I wish we get to celebrate more of these events as this is the only way we can celebrate our identity and orientation.
Sohamm.
