Supreme Court judge Justice Indu Mahotra said on Thursday that “History owes an apology to the members of this [LGBTQIA] community”.
During the arguments of the case, this general public view was reiterated to the court that the number of persons who are of the LGBTQIA community or support it are far less.
The Supreme Court judgement was preceded by a long list of battles that were fought in the courts while challenging the criminality of same-sex relationships.
The SC has said that homosexuality or bisexuality is “as natural a phenomenon as other natural biological phenomena.
The judgement is being hailed as historic in extending rights to the LGBTQ community and giving the right to live with dignity to the community members.
