The Supreme Court s verdict on legal recognition of same-sex marriages in India is considered a significant step for LGBTQ rights. The Chief Justice has directed the government to ensure that queer individuals are not discriminated against based on their sexual orientation and has called for the creation of a hotline and safe houses for queer couples facing violence.
