Hundreds of people participated in Delhi's Queer Pride march.

They're demanding same-sex marriage to be made legal in India.

Although Ajay Chauhan's celebrating pride, he's also protesting for equality for the LGBTQ+ community.

In 2018, LGBTQ+ relationships became legal in India.

The Supreme Court said that the 150 year old law against same-sex relationships was unlawful.

Before this, gay men had faced up to 10 years in jail.

Chauhan thinks this is only the first step, and that the LGBTQ+ community needs more rights.

Traditional ideas of family still have significant importance in India.

But many LGBTQ+ people are still cut off by family, friends or colleagues if they come out.

However, there's growing acceptance of LGBTQ+ identities in modern cities.

Bollywood films and series have begun to include LGBTQ+ characters.

LGBTQ+ equality fits with the cultural history of India, says university professor Akash Rathore.

LGBTQ+ couples in India are taking their challenge to the Supreme Court.

If the court agrees with the couples, this will legalise same-sex marriage.

It would join Taiwan as the second Asian country with marriage equality.
