THE BEST THINGS TO DO INQUEER KOLKATA
For years, the party scene in Kolkata has remained within the realms of private residences. However, more recently, a group of party planners under the banner PINK PARTIES KOLKATA was established. With parties typically organized on Fridays at mainstream venues in the city and meet-ups on Wednesdays at CAFE MOCHA the gayscape of Kolkata will never be the same.
In the 1990’s, Kolkata was the hub of the gay movement in India. Credited with India’s the first gay pride march that was held in 1999, Kolkata has retained its status as amongst the most queer-friendly cities in India.
18 TQC
For those who like the cruising scene, NANDAN, RABINDRA SAROVAR & MINTO PARK are the places for you.
A handful of queer-friendly bars also exist. GINGER is the unofficial gay club/bar of Kolkata and Saturday nights are gay nights. LA DOLCE VITA is another popular queer-friendly venue.
KOLKATA PRIDE is usually held in last week of June or first week of July. And it usually is a week/fortnight long celebration.
The city also retains its strong connection with the arts and culture with SIDDHARTH GAUTAM FILM FESTIVAL organized annually by Saathii in February / March and DIALOGUES organized by Sappho for Equality and The Pratyay Gender Trust every November / December.

However, there is still a lot of ground to be covered. Volunteer a few hours of your time at SAATHII or DUM DUM SWIKRITI or SAPPHO FOR EQUALITY or THE PRATYAY GENDER TRUST or PLUS. Make a difference. You will thank yourself for doing it.

THEBEST OF
TQC200920102011
With 25 editions of TQC, we’ve reached a new milestone! To commemorate our journey, TQC's best articles from 2009-2011 have been compiled in exactly the same formats they were first published.
We would like to thank our writers, guest columnists, photographers, artists and everyone who has helped to put TQC on India’s queer map.
We dedicate this special edition to our readers in over 20 countries, for making TQC what it is today.
Warm regards,
Keith - Editor, TQC

“The special 25th issue is a treasure from the word go. It’s a collector delight for all those who missed the action since long and for those who want to refresh their memory. Wish it was printed, to preserve and pickup/carry whenever and where-ever. Kudos to the team and hoping to see you guys come out with the 250th issue. Thank you.” - Syed Ali Arif, Artist.
