New Delhi: In response to a directive from the Supreme Court, the Indian government has established a six-member committee tasked with examining a range of issues concerning the queer community. This significant development comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's refusal to grant legal recognition to same-sex marriages and referring the decision regarding legislation on the same to Parliament.
The government order noted that the Supreme Court judgment dated October 17,2023, directed the Centre to constitute a committee to be chaired by the Cabinet Secretary to examine the various issues relating to queer community.
