Article Details
The expression of autonomy allows a person to find fulfilment, increase self-esteem, form meaningful connections, and to live life according to their needs. The dignity ingrained in a person and the privacy rights are both recognised as characteristics of Article 21 in the Indian Constitution. The goal of bringing particular rights to the status of basic rights is to protect them from majoritarian scorn, either statutory or cultural. Any discrimination that affects a person’s legitimate way of life cannot be tolerated to any extent. And just because an individual does not conform to mainstream notions is not a ground in any respect for his/her/they/them exclusion. The LGBTQUIA community has historically faced persecution and disrespect that goes against the concept of dignity ingrained in the very notion of right to life. Even though in the present context those rights of sexual minorities are accorded protection it is the need of the hour to bring effective legislations to that effect. In India it's been five years since 377 has been decriminalized but no legislation is enacted by the parliament to provide them with the rights that are available to normal citizens including that of marriage, divorce, adoption etc. And recently a chief officer of the Indian Army is found openly saying that the sexual minorities will not be accommodated in the Indian military in any respect. And in a very recent context Uttar Pradesh Government have opposed same-sex marriage in the Allahabad High Courton the basis that it is not in accordance with Indian culture. So, this points towards the attitude of the high-level officers and the fact that we have a long way to go in terms of inclusion of the community within the Indian diaspora. It is now intelligible that creation of a transnational and comprehensive system of international security and peace is the need of the hour for protecting the human rights of these people. This is possible only if every nation is able to accept the changing needs of its vulnerable sections and contributes towards their progress and development. Let us hope to move towards a new world order where the Queer people will really be free, where their wings will not be tied, their souls will not be caged and they will finally be accepted for who they are.
