Long Way To Nowhere

The homosexual community has been neglected and looked down upon since almost one and a half century, by both, law and society. They have been struggling to barely live a normal dignified life as any other citizen, ever since Section 377 was enforced. Many lost their lives, tired of the struggle; others spent their lives fighting for change. It was not without a harsh and tireless struggle, that, in 2018, they got the right to relationship, yet not the right to marry. The government makes so many laws, amendments, even rewrote the law from IPC, CRPC, to BNS, BNSS, but never bothered considering these people. Quiet recently, in Supriya Chakraborty case, 2023 the court said, it was the job of legislature, just the way it said in the Suresh Kumar Kaushal case in 2013, about legalizing homosexual relationship, but ended up doing it itself 5 years later in Navtej Singh Johar case, 2018. What is the court waiting for now? Is it always necessary that just as innocent victims like Asha Thakur, Bhavna Thakur, Avinshu Patel, Anjana Harish lost their lives to the humiliations of the society, for the Legalization of homosexual relationship; some more individuals need to die for the legalization of homosexual marriage? Do people of homosexual community need to sacrifice their lives and walk the way to their basic rights on a blood trail always? Is basic human living and dignity such a big luxury that always needs bloodshed for a particular community (homosexuals) to achieve it?
