History

Awadh Queer Pride was inspired by the first Pride Parade in India, Kolkata Pride, on 2 July 1999.^[3]^[6]

The event began with a pride parade in 2017, which was organized by members of the city’s LGBTQIA+ community and led by Darvesh Singh Yadvendra.^[3]^[7] The parade was attended by approximately 300 people, including heterosexual allies and parents of LGBTQIA+ individuals.^[3]^[8] The walk started from Sikandar Bagh and continued for 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) until terminating at Hazratganj.^[7]

Approximately 400 people attended the second Awadh Queer Pride Walk in 2018.^[9]

In 2021, actresses Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra were invited to the event due to their work on the show The Married Woman.^[10]
