On first Valentinersquos Day post decriminalisation of homosexuality LGBTQI couples are still not welcome at VDay gigs in Vizag

Visakhapatnam | Thursday | 14th February, 2019

Summary:

A staffer at Somaa Restobar too says that same-sex couples will not be allowed in, be it on V-Day or otherwise. “While we haven’t planned anything exclusively for LGBTQ couples in the city this V-Day, we do have a party in mind in the near future. When asked if LGBTQ couples are welcome at their establishment, Santoshini, a partner at Myz Uno, minces no words: “our brewery is open to all, even stags. The answer seems to be a sad ‘No!’.In fact, not many LGBTQ couples even look forward to spending the day at the many romantic hotspots in town. Sadiq Rizwi, F&B director at The Park, says, “Same-sex couples are more than welcome and will, of course, be treated as any other couple would be.”- Debalina.Talukdar@timesgroup.com, Neeshita.Nyayapati@timesgroup.com.
