SUBMISSION DEADLINE
– SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2017
THEME: ‘Diverse, One’
The theme of KASHISH
2017 explores the diversity of the LGBTQ community. The diverse shades of the
rainbow remind us that as people we are all different and we are all unique. In
the fight for an equal society, basic human rights and against laws that criminalize
and discriminate, it is our shared values that bring us together. We are
strongest when we come together, when we embrace one another's uniqueness and
celebrate our differences. We are Diverse,
We are One.
