Not state's job to control private lives of LGBT members: SC
Scrapping parts of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and decriminalising gay sex, Justice DY Chandrachud on Thursday said, "The state has no business...in controlling the private lives of LGBT community members." Stating that LGBTQ community is entitled to equal citizenship, equal rights under the Constitution, Justice Chandrachud said, "Decriminalisation is but the first step".
