LGBTQ- A part of our society
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. Over the past decade, LGBT people have gained more
and more tolerance and acceptance in India, especially in large cities.
Nonetheless, most LGBT people in India remain closeted, fearing discrimination from their
families, who might see homosexuality as shameful. Discrimination is still present in rural areas,
where LGBT people often face rejection from their families and forced opposite-sex marriages.
People in the LGBT community are fighting for equal rights and acceptance. Tran’s people,
especially, face a lot of difficulty in finding acceptance. People in the LGBT community are
looked down upon all the time. This is a major issue because discrimination against the LGBT
community is highly prevalent.

People’s prejudices lead them to think that LGBT people are odd and very different. Today,
homosexuality and queer identities may be acceptable to more Indian youths than ever before but within the boundaries of families, homes and schools, acceptance still remains a constant
struggle for LGBT people. I have heard of people coming out of the closet and declaring to their
families that they are not the person their family expected them to be.

Being L, G, B or T is not a ‘problem’, nor is it a ‘choice’ as such. LGBT individuals are merely
individuals who have sexual preferences that differ from what would appear to be the ‘norm’,
due to differing learned behaviours and, you know, having a personal perspective and mindset
that differs from everyone else’s. Saying that it’s objectively wrong for people to have sexual
preferences that differ from the norm is objectively wrong it.
Article 15 of our Indian Constitution Article 15, 1949
Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, Sex or place of birth.
If normal men and women have the right to live in this society with respect then why not a
person who belongs to LGBT can live in this society with respect. It’s not about what our
religion says it’s about what humanity says…If we talk about religion as per the Hindu aspects
Lord Rama had given a boon to hijras for their loyalty that’s why the curse or boon of hijras
means a lot to the normal beings.

LGBTQ RIGHTS
People around the world face violence and inequality—and sometimes torture, even
execution—because of who they love, how they look, or who they are. Sexual orientation and
gender identity are integral aspects of our selves and should never lead to discrimination or
abuse. Human Rights Watch works for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender peoples’ rights,
and with activists representing a multiplicity of identities and issues. We document and expose
abuses based on sexual orientation and gender identity worldwide, including torture, killing and
executions, arrests under unjust laws, unequal treatment, censorship, medical abuses,
discrimination in health and jobs and housing, domestic violence, abuses against children, and
denial of family rights and recognition. We advocate for laws and policies that will protect
everyone’s dignity. We work for a world where all people can enjoy their rights fully.
