Description

A collective of LGBTIQ+ Rights organisations led by Equal Ground organised “Colombo Pride '', a series of events including movie screenings, stage plays, a photography and art exhibition, a music and dance event, a pride march and a food festival, parties and other events to celebrate Pride. Journalist Ranga Srilal tweeted that Colombo Pride Walk got almost banned as a powerful minister, and SDIG Deshabandu Tennakoon in charge of Western Province had attempted to stop it, despite SDIG Tennakoon himself having granted permission earlier, and provided Police protection, based on a payment.
