Venue: Farmaaish Lounge and Bar, Viman Nagar, Pune DESCRIPTION Mist presents the second LBT night on the last Sunday of July 2018, the 29th at Farmaaish Lounge and Bar, Viman Nagar, Pune 8 pm onwards. Gaysi’s even popular for helming ‘drag king’ performances occasionally, India’s first-ever and nit to be missed. The music is a mix between Bollywood and Western Pop chart-toppers at hip suburban and mainland venues. While the party is usually open to all the members of the community, Gaysi rightfully insists that male attendees must come along with at least one female companion. While queer and trans men have a multitude of queer party options to choose from, media company and online queer resource centre, Gaysi sought out to level the ground by organising events for LBT females in Bombay since 2007.

Empowerment is more a journey than a destination. This November we will celebrate 10 years of Gaysi Family. While their parties might usually seem filled with throngs of folks, it’s because love for populist Bollywood music and the casual ambience they create, for everyone to feel welcome. Apart from organising counselling sessions, meet-ups and other activities, they’ve also made their parties some of the safest and accessible spaces across Mumbai for queer folks. One of the longest-running online queer support groups in India since 1998, Gay Bombay was also one of pioneers to host private queer parties in the city’s clubs in 2000.

We tell you about some of the organisations, who have carved their niche through their policies, themes and beliefs and made a safe den for their loyalists, inside and outside the community: Zsa Zsa Events, Mumbai It’s pleasantly surprising how queer subversive culture can co-exist alongside the mainstream. Now though, the market is growing, and the many organisers alterante the weekends so there’re no clashes and every party-goer can have a taste of all the scenes out there. They were and have been places where the community found a sanctuary of sorts, however short-lived it can be.
Such parties were previously usually held in suburban areas, far from the city’s mainland, because prime party spots were tough deals to crack, especially because of the widespread homophobia, and fear from Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), bringing with them hate crimes and raids. Some organisations have historically been holding parties in India since the start of the millennium. More vibrant now, the parties are held amongst large, but close-knit circuits and well-known clubs than just at back-alley, seedy haunts. Today though, a younger and more liberal generation is a part of the changed dynamics of the queer nightlife. Predominantly earlier and sometimes even now, when my friends (most of whom are male) and I would try to enter many of the mainstream clubs located across south Mumbai, we would be halted because the door staff was instructed to strictly allow only heterosexual couples. Giving rise to a host of queer party organisations who’ve been striving to set up safe nights out, without any prejudice from others. Since then, there haven’t been exclusively queer clubs or bars in India, but in the last decade, the queer rights movement has proliferated through the crevices of Mumbai’s homophobia. In the 1990s, Voodoo in Mumbai’s Colaba was notoriously known to be one of the first queer haunts in the city’s public landscape. The queer party has come out of the shadows of the seedy back-alley joint and into the spotlight with party organisations that are making the country’s nightlife more inclusive, night after night
