He said the structural and attitudinal changes are also essential for the same.
“Structural changes as well as attitudinal changes are essential. Equality is not achieved with the decriminalization of homosexuality alone but must extend to all spheres of life including the home, the workplace, and public places,” the judge stated.
Interestingly, he also invoked a famous Beatles number in his speech delivered at an event organised by the British High commission to commemorate the 2018 Navtej Singh Johar judgment of the Supreme Court decriminalising homosexuality.
“The Beatles famously sang ‘All you need is love, love; Love is all you need’. At the risk of ruffling the feathers of music aficionados everywhere, I take the liberty to disagree with them and say – perhaps we need a little more than love,” said the Supreme Court judge.
He was speaking on the topic ‘Beyond Navtej: The Future of the LGBTQ+ Movement in India’.
