Hello friends as you may all aware about the supreme court unprecedented verdict regarding homosexuality.A Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in a concurring judgment ruled that sex between two consenting adults of the same gender is no longer a criminal offence.In one stroke, this restores the equality before the law of all sexual orientations and declare this verdict as historic one as well. Many developed countries has already declare homosexuality legal but it was not that easy in country like India which is most vibrant .as juxtaposed than other countries. After struggling a lot for their rights this verdict brings a fruitful conclusion for LGBT community.There is a degree of uniqueness about this victory for India’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) community.So the freedom gained by the LGBTQ community in India is not something gifted to them. On the contrary, India’s political parties had distanced themselves from their cause, no doubt fearing majoritarian backlash, revealing that they have no convictions of their own. Religious groups of India like Hindu, Muslim and Christian came together to reinstate Section 377, but this time the Supreme Court did not entertain claims made in the name of religion. Secularism has thus been given a fresh lease of life in India. Henceforth, political parties that appease religious interests for electoral gain do so at a cost to their credibility.This verdict may seem as the victory of LGBT community but moreover it is their fundamental Right that has been served now.
