KEY POINTS

·        Kerala High Court set a trailblazing precedent recently by sanctioning a lesbian couple.

·        The court simply asked the couple if they wished to live together, to which they replied yes. The joy of the couple spilled over into social media.

·        The Indian Psychiatric Society authentically stated that homosexuality was not a mental disorder; but that sentiment has not convinced most Indian homes.

·        The social and psychological abhorrence prevailing in India against the LGBTQ+ community nullifies the constitutional fraternity that is to be lived out in public and private life of the nation.

·        Fraternity too is not a pure western ideal. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar elucidated the Indian roots of the ideal of fraternity during an All India Radio interview in 1954: “My social philosophy may be said to be enshrined in three words: liberty, equality and fraternity.

·        Dr. Ambedkar championed the ideal of fraternity to uphold the cause of the oppressed castes, Dalits. The same principle is felicitous to the gender Dalits of present-day India — the LGBTQ+ community.

·        The society should not deprive the LGBTQ+ community of affection and regards thanks only to their sexual orientation.
