ABSTRACT

LGBTQA stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals. Recently their community got the title of the “Third Gender” in the case of National legal service authority Vs. Union of India 2014. Under this case, Supreme Court decriminalized homosexuality by striking down section 377 of the Indian penal code 1860.  When they fight for their rights, some politicians said this is an American game because the term homosexuality or the relation between the same sex, is not applicable in Indian society. For getting the rights, they did struggle a lot and their struggle somewhere ended by decriminalizing homosexuality but till now they haven’t had full rights towards their community. Behind the rights, there is a huge history that how they got their rights.

Keywords: LGBTQA+, Homosexuality, NASLA case, LGTBQ rights.
