Siliguri (West Bengal):Transgenders took part in a fashion show in West Bengal's
Siliguri city on Sunday, wearing both Indian and Western attire. "We want to be
respected in society like a common person," said Kajol Roy, one of the participants.
"As you know about the IPC 377, which was passed on July 2 in 2009 by the Delhi
High Court, that verdict is with the Supreme Court, we want to strengthen that
movement and gather stakeholders' help for it. Through this (event), we want to
declare a big movement," said Alok Choudhury, an organizer. The event was well
attended.
