In Supreme Court's Right To Privacy Judgment, A Touch of Rainbow | Read
The landmark Supreme Court judgment today which declared privacy is a fundamental right of all Indians, has also brought cheer to the gay and LGBT communities. The court said right to privacy is valid even in the context of Section 377 --- a law that criminalises what was once seen as unnatural sex. Sexual orientation, the court said, is an "essential component of identity" and the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population are "real rights founded on sound constitutional doctrine".
