NEW DELHI – India’s highest court will hear arguments on whether to legalise same-sex marriage on March 13, a landmark for the country of 1.4 billion people and for the global movement for LGBTQ rights.
In 2014, it laid the groundwork by giving legal recognition to non-binary or transgender persons as a “third gender”. Last year, the court instituted protections for what it called “atypical” families. It’s a broad category that includes, for example, single parents, blended families or kinship relationships – and same-sex couples. The court said that such non-traditional manifestations of families are equally deserving of benefits under various social welfare legislation.
Some groups of the much smaller Christian population had argued against legalising homosexuality in 2018 and said that “same-sex marriages would become social experiments with unpredictable outcome”.4. For LGBTQ people in India, is it easy to be out? Nearly 60 per cent of the urban population is comfortable with LGBTQ persons being open about their sexual orientation or gender identity, according to the Ipsos 2021 LGBTQ+ Pride survey. More people said they supported same-sex marriage than public displays of affection between LGBTQ people , such as holding hands or kissing.
