Supreme Court judge Justice DY Chandrachud is one of the few judges who is vocal about the rightsof LGBTQ community. Decriminalisation of section 377 of the penal code has enabled queer people to emerge as legally empowered citizens and demand their rights rightfully and proudly. Structural changes are still needed to ensure that we are able to extend these positive legal actions to marginalised queer people who continue to face intersecting oppressions”.
