VIRTUAL PRIDE PARADE ✨
With pride month in its final week, we wanted to kickstart a virtual parade in celebration of pride to make up for all the actual parades we missed out on this year, and also to bring a little positivity to everyone’s timeline in these difficult times.

[Yes, We Exist 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @YesWeExistIndia]

A religious group, ‘Al Haya Min Allah’ has been distributing extremely homophobic posters at Jamia University. But @jmiu_official and Chancellor @nheptulla have failed to stop this. Members of @JamiaQC who flagged the issue are being cyber abused. @ugc_india please step in!

Jamia Millia Islamia is a place of global views. It is and would always be a safe place for every gender, sexual orientation, religion, race, caste or whatever.
We won't let any organisation to pollute and spread venom in the inclusive air of Jamia. ✊🏳️‍🌈

When we are dealing with the prevailing homophobic environment inside the Jamia campus, a reminder of good old days - the legacy of Jamia is democratic, progressive and inclusive. We should never forget ✊🏽

Jamia Journalism Alums Group condemns the anti-LGBTQIA+ group’s campaign and urges @jmiu_official's intervention.

We request students to stand shoulder to shoulder with the #LGBTQIA+ community to protect the inclusive ethos of Jamia.

[Raghu @raghukalra]

One of the greatest achievements of AJKMCRC and Jamia Millia Islamia @jmiu_official was that one would feel safe when you entered the college. You could have opposing views and passionate debates with colleagues from across the world and still felt respected. 1/3

In solidarity. 🏳️‍🌈

[Saiam Hasan @HashTagFirullah]
