Nakshatra Bagwe, a renowned LGBTQ+ activist and community organizer, was recently been announced as the spearhead of the first-ever Vasai-Virar Pride Festival 2023. It is expected to be a landmark event for the LGBTQ+ community in Vasai-Virar and beyond. The festival will take place on the 27th of May 2023 to have a positive impact on the local community and to promote acceptance and understanding of LGBTQ+ individuals.
Nakshatra Bagwe is a well-known figure in the LGBTQ+ community, having worked tirelessly for the rights and acceptance of queer individuals in Maharashtra and across India. Bagwe has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights for many years and has played a key role in organizing various community events and initiatives.
The Vasai-Virar Pride Festival 2023 is a one-day event that aims to celebrate the diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. It is expected to draw a large crowd of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies from across Maharashtra. The Vasai-Virar Pride Festival 2023 promises to be a historic event for the LGBTQ+ community in Maharashtra and a significant step towards creating a more accepting and inclusive society. We have designed a route for the Pride March that will cover different neighbourhoods – temples, churches, and Vasai Road – for better visibility on the day.
Speaking about the festival, Nakshatra Bagwe said, тАЬI know the responsibility of the first pride and something which is very close to my heart. I want to thank Shrey and Jay Kommana from Page G Events without them I don’t think this would have been possible. We were very pleased with the positive response of the authorities and police officers who happily granted us permission without any hassle. This festival is an important step towards creating a more accepting and inclusive society for the LGBTQ+ community. I look forward to working with the organizers and the community to make this festival a huge.
