Last night , the Gossip fundraising party was raided, we were told we need special permissions to hold a “gay” 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.

The bugger has not stopped with his old tricks – he’s gone ahead to spy on gay cruising spots as well.
We’re filing complaints and will be sending in an RTI petition (Right to Information) with the Oshiwara Police – also charging him for extortion, defamation and contempt of court!
We’re flaming this Pride in Mumbai 🙂
I really doubt that the system will be of any help… a smarter way of making noise/setting the bugger right would be to get the media involved. One print or one channel….
