As a gay map nerd and amateur cartographer, I made a map of every guy I have had a crush or any kind of feelings for classified into years of 3 since 2013 to 2026
Was lucky to see the Sinchan Themed 20629/20639 Secunderabad - Thiruvananthapuram Sabari Express at Coimbatore
The whole thing reeks of a little bit of political fence-sitting though. Excerpts from the Guardian article on the same.
>Iran and Egypt attempted to sidestep questions about their reluctance to take part in the designated “Pride Match” celebrating the LGBTQ+ community in Seattle, as Fifa confirmed it will permit rainbow flags to be displayed inside the stadium. Fifa’s president, Gianni Infantino, has been at pains to make clear planned festivities are being arranged by Seattle’s organising committee to coincide with the annual Pride weekend and that they have “nothing to do with the match itself”.
>In a statement Infantino distanced Fifa from the Pride celebrations. “First of all, I must clarify that there will be no ‘Pride Match’ at the World Cup,” Infantino said. “There will be a Fifa World Cup match in Seattle, and on the same day, events organised by external organisations will be taking place in the city. But that has nothing to do with the match itself.”
>A Fifa spokesperson added: “General statements of human rights, including rainbow flags and other flags representing sexual orientation and gender identity, are permitted under the Fifa World Cup 2026 stadium code of conduct and may be displayed inside stadiums provided they are used in a manner consistent with the code.”

People please educate yourselves about Prep and PEP.
As a queer man who used to live in Bengaluru, I spent a fair amount of time on Grindr and other dating apps. From my personal experience, a very large proportion of profiles I encountered (easily 70% or more) identified as bisexual, married to women, had girlfriends, were in heterosexual relationships, or described themselves as bi-curious. This is purely my personal observation and not scientific data.
More importantly, many people in India still don't know about:
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis)
A medication that can significantly reduce the risk of acquiring HIV when taken as prescribed.
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis)
An emergency treatment that should be started as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours after a potential HIV exposure.
As kids,we learned that rainbow is called "Ramdhonu" in Bengali. But tmc gov replaced "Ramdhonu" with "rongdhonu"(a term more commonly used in Bd) in bangla school textbooks. Now BJP gov is changing it back.

Contains the following lines:
Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden gave a powerful speech urging parents to accept and support their queer children instead of pushing them away. As the mother of three LGBTQ children herself, she said families who reject queer people are “missing out on a fabulous life experience.” She also reminded parents that love starts at home — and joked that nobody does holidays better than the gays. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 blitzj0k3r on all socials.
Started this city casually back in college in 2024 Feb. Never thought it would become so huge and complex. Inspired from India and Japan. 3rd pic is of the airport, 4th pic is of the Marina.
We need to report the other kolkata thing for spreading fake news and banning everything and everyone who speaks for India and against anti-indians.

Also includes the Siliguri - Varanasi - Delhi HSR.
Some noticable stations:
The Mumbai - Hyderabad HSR goes via Baramati and Pandharpur instead of Daund and Kurduvadi. Hyderabad is as of now a terminal station near Nanakramguda.
The Hyderabad Chennai HSR goes via Gattupal and Dachipalli instead of Nalgonda
The Chennai Hyderabad HSR goes via Tirupati Airport. Every major city has a HSR in the airport.
