Pyar is Pyar 2025

A proud celebration calling for acceptance, inclusion, and equality

Pyar is Pyar 2025 was an unforgettable night, a benefit in New York on May 15, 2025 to support  the work of Desi Rainbow. The evening was full of queer and trans Desi joy, bringing together a multi-generational community of LGBTQIA+ South Asians and allies.  There was palpable sense of love - love for the relationships  we have fought so hard to have, for the queer, trans and allied community we are building,  for birth and chosen family,  for the children we fiercely nurture and protect. 

 

Alok Vaid Menon moved everyone with their eloquent words  of support for  queer  and trans children, saying "I am what happens when queer kids  are loved." Desi Rainbow is invested in building a world where all queer and trans children and adults are loved, affirmed and celebrated, and meeting our fundraising goal for Pyar is Pyar supports our efforts to  fulfill that mission.
