Madras HC commends TN govt, LGBTQIA+ for inclusive draft policy
The Madras High Court praised Tamil Nadu's LGBTQIA+ policy, citing its comprehensive approach and commitment to inclusivity and empowerment. The policy, developed through collaborative efforts with community input, includes horizontal reservation in education and employment, insurance cover, and a ban on corrective surgeries for intersex infants. The court acknowledged the diverse perspectives considered in the drafting process and granted three months for public consultations and feedback incorporation.
The draft policy document accessed by TNM has suggested several measures for the welfare of LGBTQIA+ communities, with specific focus on transgender and intersex persons.
