Same-sex Marriage Pleas in the Supreme Court of India: LGBTQIA Community at the Crossroads
The ongoing hearings on same-sex marriage petitions have resulted in a minor concession being offered to the LGBTQIA community by way of welfarist steps. A government committee would be constituted to address the issues which could at best benefit a small section of the LGBTQIA community.
Meanwhile the Supreme Court has indicated clearly that Parliament alone can legislate on the right to same-sex marriage. Therefore a national-level consultation process of LGBTQIA community and their allies for decades is urgently called for. A few petitioners cannot represent the entire LGBTQIA community
