THE BEST THINGS TO DO INQUEER BENGALURU

Like most of the larger cities, Bengaluru too has a vibrant selection of fabulous parties. Heading to a party by PINK NATION or PARTY SQUARE or MALE BOX or FEVER NITES are just some of the tough weekend choices you will have to make. www.thepinknation.com and club parties advertised on www.planetromeo.com

One of the first cities to have an organized gay movement in India, Bengaluru is host to an eclectic mix of events - parties, pub nights, movie screenings, discussion groups, a film festival, queer hang-outs... Something almost every day of the week!

12 TQC

Definitely not a recommended regular hangout, but worth a visit once in a while, is CHIN LUNG - an infamous (and down market) 'old Bangalore pub’, comprising a cross-section of inebriated queens.

The most famous unofficial queer hangout however, is the BARISTA café on MG Road, which has earned it the name “Gayrista”. Saturday evenings are the best time to visit and meet new people.

GRAB (Gay Runners and Breakfast) every Sunday morning, at the ‘Airlines Restaurant’ on St Mark’s road is an informal and interesting way to rejuvenate before a horrifying new week at work.

Bengaluru is also the headquarters to one of India’s few gay tour operators. With titillating tours regularly planned to exotic destinations in India and overseas, PINK NATION definitely ensures you get your money’s worth. www.thepinknation.com

If movies are your ‘thing’, SWABHAVA hosts queer movie screenings every Saturday, which is usually followed by a vibrant discussion. www.swabhava.org

The meets held at GOOD AS YOU every Thursday are a ‘do-not-miss’, with discussions on queer themed issues, not just for the LGBT community, but also for parents and supporters. www.goodasyou.in

The annual BANGALORE QUEER FILM FESTIVAL is every filmlovers’ delight with the best movies, shorts & documentaries. The 3-day extravaganza is typically held of the last weekend of February. www.blrqueerfilmfest.com

The annual BENGALURU PRIDE marks the peak of queer circuit events in the city. Feather boas, glitzy costumes and throngs of participants scream, “We are here, we are queer.” www.bangalorepride.com
