LGBTQIA + Privileges In India: Progress Post- Section 377


Harshita Kashyap, Tezpur Law College, Guwahati University, Tezpur-784001, India


ABSTRACT


With the historic 2018 High Court ruling in Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India, homosexuality was decriminalized in India, marking a significant shift in LGBTQIA+ rights. However, complete uniformity remains subtle even though Article 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was understood down, permitting lawful acknowledgment of same-sex relationships. This study examines the legitimate, social, and strategic advancements in LGBTQIA+ privileges since Section 377. It also highlights the ongoing challenges, such as the lack of rights related to marriage, reception, and cultural separation.


Keywords: High court ruling, Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India, LGBTQIA, Article 377, Indian Penal Code.
