Pride De Goa
Pride walk in Goa, India
Pride De Goa was the official pride parade walk in the state of Goa, India. It was organised by the NGO Goa Rainbow Trust.
History
2017
The first pride walk in Goa was organised on October 28, 2017. The walk took place from Old Secretariat to Miramar Beach, an approximate distance of five kilometres. One of the organisers Alexander Fernandes said, "We hope this walk will get rid of homophobia in some way. We want people to know that we are not harmful or ‘bad people’. We deserve respect like anyone else, and that we too have human rights." The event included LGBTQ+ parties, a film festival, and a pride walk.
Another organiser, Diana Dias, talks about taking tips and suggestions from other Indian cities who have previously held pride walks. She said, "We have a large LGBT community in Goa, but most prefer to stay under the scanner since it is a very small place and everyone knows each other. However, we are trying to create more awareness now."
Chris Fernandes (chief executive office and founder of Goa Rainbow Trust), who came out in the open about her sexuality and is proud of it, founded Adhikar to help girls dealing with similar issues in the state.

Why this record matters
“Pride De Goa” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Pride, walk and India provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q64623968. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
