evidence: Among the more creative expressions of outrage was the display of placards with protest messages during the ‘Trans Queen Contest North-East 2013’held in Imphal, capital of the north-eastern state of Manipur, on December 14, 2013. The creative round of this hugely popular annual transgender beauty pageant was converted into a ‘protest round’ of sorts. Contestants carried placards that said "Down down Supreme Court ruling", "We don’t want to go back to 1860" and the more cheeky and futuristic ones "Elizabeth Taylor had eight legal husbands, but I want only one!"
