Section 377 Verdict: India’s top court decriminalises homosexuality in landmark verdict

Upholding the rights of individuals, the Supreme Court decriminalised homosexuality saying that the “LGBT community has the same rights as that of any ordinary citizen. Respect for each others rights and other are supreme humanity. Criminalising gay sex is irrational and indefensible.”

However, while India may have scrapped the controversial Section 377 (A), there’s still a lot of more that needs to be done for true equality to be implemented on the ground level.
