Why am I writing this post on Gaysi?
I’m being the bitch, and ‘cos Hrithik graced the private screening “Agneepath” (2012) in Mumbai for the Queer Azaadi Mumbai 2012 organizing members and supporting personalities. L, G, B, T, H, I, K, Q and the rest of the Queer Alphabet were touched by Hrithik’s warmth and friendliness. And like MJ said it, we’re pimping Bollywood honey!

Salvation Star & TimeOut Mumbai present MUMBAI PRIDE NIGHT-2012!- QAM FUNDRAISER NIGHT
To be honest this was not me couple of hours ago. In fact I have been on a perpetual see-saw of highs-n-lows for the past 10 days. And it all started from the minute we (Gaysi) volunteered to host “Dirty Talk” as part of the Mumbai Pride Week.
As part of the Mumbai Pride Week, Kashish presents Q’nema on 22nd January at TISS, Mumbai.
Colours of India through the eyes of a dancer…
It’s the first party of 2012…from the biggest and the best LGBT party organisers… “BIRDCAGE”. A fund raiser for the spirit of LGBT MUMBAI for QAM 2012.
On 15th January, QAM hosted its first Queer Games. Here is a personal account of one the Queer Games participant, Deep. “Light of hope at the end of the tunnel”…a statement strong enough to confirm we are on the right track. Good show guys!
Its Pride Friday and we’re kicking up Pride Week – You and me are going to have a better time than most people dream of, so let’s paint the night in your favorite color!
As we walked towards the exit we had the venue staff telling us that we could not leave since there were police outside. A guy wearing a pony tail, beard, kohl eyed and wearing a vest was standing there instructing the police to go and check on the party. His name is Haji Ahmed Sahab Bawa (HASB) claiming to be a member of the NCP. He also was showing videos that he had clicked inside the party.
Haji Ahmed Sahab Bawa, a Muslim rightwinger, screamed and name called 270 guests and cops watched meekly, until we decided enough is enough, people mustered courage and took the fight to the police station…and after 2 hours of 50 odd people standing outside the station, we were told there was nothing wrong with party, all the permissions were in place and it was wrong that the party was stopped.
This time we party for a cause, to raise funds for Mumbai Pride 2012. Mother of all queer events is back, bigger and better than ever, Queer Azaadi Mumbai’s Pride walk on 28th January 2012. This year promises to have almost of a dozen pre-pride events to be held all over the city during the pride week (21st-28th January 2012). And in order to help realize all these events, Gossip is holding a fundraiser!
We’re giving you an opportunity to star in your very own production. Would you like to dance? Read a little ‘bedtime story’ (wink)? Do your own vajayjay monologue? All of the above at once (we’d like to see you pull THAT off)? Here’s your chance, boys and girls!
In the year of the Olympics, QAM brings you our lil queer version of the Games, right here to Mumbai! Our little twist, is more about having fun, letting our hair down and proving our athletic prowess! (kidding about the last part).
The entries need to reflect the lives of the LGBTHIQ.
This year, bring in the New Year at one of GB’s most popular party venues – at a very affordable price of Rs 1,600, of which Rs 100 will go towards organising Mumbai’s Queer Azaadi Pride March happening in January 2012.
Come on my queer,
Get in gear.
Gay prides just a month away,
Through the streets we want to play.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch,
Doesn’t mean you need to get your panties in a bunch.
Gaysi is a space where the Desi-Gay community comes together and shares personal stories, their triumphs and failures, their struggles and their dreams, their hopes and despair. And in doing so, gives other gaysis a sliver of hope too. More
