End Conversion Therapy‘; ‘Pyaar kiya to darna kya‘; ‘Love without Labels‘; ‘Being straight was my phase! I kissed a boy and I didn’t like it’; ‘Pride not Prejudice‘; ‘I may be straight but I don’t hate‘; ‘Love is a terrible thing to hate‘; ‘Cause shade never made anybody less Gay’, to mention a few, were witnessed at the event.
