आप किसी लड़की का इंटरव्यू लेते है तो आप उसे SHE कहकर संबोधित करते है तो वो कहती है Do Not Say Me She I Am HE. I Consider Myself As a Man Not As Women.

इसी का उल्टा भी है।
आप किसी लड़के का इंटरव्यू लेते है तो आप उसे HE कहकर संबोधित करते है तो वो कहता है Do Not Say Me He I Am SHE. I Consider Myself As a Woman Not As a Man.
और एक अलग मामला देखने को मिला। वो तो गजब था।
एक लड़का एक दिन She और अगले दिन He होता है।

यह सारा उलझाव 2018 के समलैंगिकता को अपराध की श्रेणी से बाहर निकालने के बाद शुरू हुआ है। और अब आदमी का आदमी से और औरत का औरत से विवाह की तैयारी है। पहले ही लिव इन के नाम पर चरित्रहीनता और व्यभिचार को खुली अनुमति दी जा चुकी है। जिसके

#StoryAlert 🚨

On Apr 18, union govt's lawyer Tushar Mehta stood before the Supreme Court bench hearing the #SameSexMarriage case and requested it to refrain from hearing the case. "Leave it to parliament," he said.

But why? A thread.🧵
article-14.com/post/marriage-…

Centre says-
1. Court cannot create or recognize marriage by judicial interpretation.
2. 'Urban-Elitist' concept.
3. Majority of other countries have recognised same-sex marriage via legislation.
4. Debate in society, nation must. Only parliament can decide.

I find-
1. Courts can, & have, changed laws via judicial interpretation
2. Not an "urban-elitist" concept
3. 23 of 34 countries where same-sex marriage recognised did so via legislation, but 10, including US, did so via court judgements
4. Court can decide if legislative lethargy

Bar Council of India passes a resolution on #samesexmarriage.

“ever since the inception of human civilisation and culture, marriage has been typically accepted and categorized as a union of biological man and woman for the twin purpose of procreation and recreation”, says BCI.

“Every responsible and prudent citizen of the country is worried about the future of his-her children after coming to know about the pendency of this matter before the Hon'ble Supreme Court”, says Bar Council of India on same-sex marriage case in #SupremeCourt

More than 99.9% of people of the country are opposed ot "the idea of same sex marriage" in our country - Bar Council of India.

How are LGBTQIA+ individuals treated all around the world? 🏳️‍🌈

#samesexmarriage

In a few countries, mostly Muslim nations - homosexuality is still punishable by death. These countries include Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan, and parts of Nigeria and Somalia. This world has a long way to go for LGBTQIA+ rights.

Sadly, life imprisonment is still a reality for LGBTQIA+ individuals in some places, mostly in Africa. Uganda and Tanzania are examples of countries where being LGBTQIA+ can lead to life imprisonment.

As the Supreme Court Constitution Bench hears arguments for #samesexmarriage ,here is a thread of important recent Supreme Court judgments that made headway for gender equality and autonomy.

Vishakha vs State of Rajasthan (1997): Made way for commissioning of Vishakha guidelines against sexual harassment at workplace by SC in 1997. Replaced by POSH Act 2013.

NALSA vs UoI (2014): Transgender persons and the idea of third gender recognised. Underlined need for transgender rights + set of guidelines to be followed by states.
