LGBT community has same rights as any ordinary citizen: SC
Delivering the verdict of the Supreme Court on decriminalising homosexuality in India, CJI Dipak Misra said, "LGBT community has same rights as of any ordinary citizen. Respect for each others' rights, and others is supreme humanity." He further said, "Majoritarian views and popular morality cannot dictate constitutional rights." CJI Misra called Section 377 irrational and indefensible.
