First gay marriage in Mumbai

 A gay couple has held the first wedding party in Mumbai after India’s Supreme Court decriminalised gay sex in September.

Vinodh Philip, 43, and Vincent Illaire, 47, celebrated their marriage with friends and family at a hotel reception on February 1, after tying the knot in Illaire’s homeland of France in December.

Philip, who founded India’s first LGBT+ choir, Rainbow Voices Mumbai (RVM), told PinkNews that he wanted to organise the party because “Mumbai was the city where I came out as a gay man.
