<br/><br/> The Court’s judgment in Supriyo v Union of India (2023), especially after the ruling in Navtej Johar v Union of India (2018), fails to uphold the baseline of a decent society with dignity for queers. By mis-framing the issue, misapplying precedents and deferring to majoritarian heteronormative morality, the Court reinforced institutional humiliation. The Court’s stand on protecting homosexual identity but only as long as it is not openly performed reduces homosexuals to a suspect category, compelling them to take on practices of covering their identity, limiting their experience as full citizens. –Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/12/commentary/supriyo-v-union-india-2023.html<br/>
