Three days ago, the Supreme Court decided to rethink its stand on Section 377 of the Constitution, which criminalises "carnal intercourse against the order of nature". It said that a larger bench would be formed to reevaluate the validity of its 2013 order that had upheld this section. In doing so, the court sent out a signal that, maybe, it's time that the concerns of the LGBTQ community were taken into account. Maybe, it's time we freed them of the everyday prejudice that is their lot.
