Among the thousands of people who walked in the LGBT Pride Parade (Queer Azadi March) – from August Kranti Maidan to Chowpatty Beach today in Mumbai – was Bollywood director, Onir!

Best known for his films with themes of alternate sexuality – like My Brother Nikhil and I Am – Onir is one of the few Bollywood personalities who wears his sexuality with comfort.
