Abstract

This chapter on the law and the LGBTQAI+ community will examine perspectives and insights on legal protection and rights granted to this population, as well as a multitude of dimensions and instances where these rights and privileges are not upheld in reality. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual, and intersex (LGBTQAI+) people's human rights are becoming more recognized all over the world, with the introduction of new legislative safeguards in India and in other countries. The Navtej Singh case and NALSA case, though it was a revolting point for the community's way to liberalization, only brought to light how the community faces discrimination and violence in every area of life and every stage of life. The main mission of this chapter is the educate and enlighten the readers on the current legislative safeguards available to the community and deliberate on the way forward from the point of view of both the judiciary and the community.
