Pink Pages Editorial Team
(c/o MINGLE Foundation)
The Pink Pages Editorial Board is glad to announce the release of the first issue of our magazine. Pink Pages is being released as India’s first national magazine catering to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) community, featuring articles on gay rights, health, popular culture, fashion, cinema, books and much more.
The salient features of the magazine are as follows:
- The initial issues of the magazine will be released online, free of cost. Thereafter it’ll go into print.
- The magazine will be India’s first LGBT magazine with a nationwide readership.
- This is a non-profitable community venture. Almost the entire Pink Pages team consists of students or young professionals from various fields- humanities, engineering, medicine, arts- who pooled in money and talent to successfully bring out this landmark first issue.
The website of the magazine (www.pink-pages.co.in) which allows viewers to subscribe to the magazine and read articles, went online on 1 January 2009.
Since the first issue is being launched soon after the landmark ruling of the Delhi High Court declaring homosexuality legal, its theme will be “Freedom… after 150 years”.
Also, we are thankful to Mallika Sarabhai, noted classical dancer for her words of support on this momentous occasion of the release of Pink Pages’ first issue:
“The right to be who we are, and to express our true selves freely in today’s world, is essential. Pink Pages is one more step towards this freedom. I wish it all the best.”
