'We will win': Supreme Court lawyer Rohin Bhatt on same-sex marriage and LGBT rights | BBC News

- On 17 October 2023, the Indian Supreme Court ruled against legally recognising same-sex marriage, stating that there is no fundamental right to marry. The court found that the decision was beyond its scope and should instead be decided by parliament. However, the court accepted the government's offer to set up a panel to consider granting more legal rights and benefits to same-sex couples.
We spoke to Rohin Bhatt, one of the lawyers involved in the case, to reflect on the judgment one year later and what has transpired in the courts since.

The constitution has to work for every citizen, so rightly said!!
Mr. Bhatt speaks so well! This how gentlemen speak. Powerful words, and an even more powerful message. More power to you Sir! I don't know (and don't care) about the others, but I wholeheartledly stand with you in your struggle against such invisible oppresion!
Kudos to you Sir! 🎉🏳🌈
Yes the struggle for LGBTQIA+ rights in India are extreme. Yet we have to be united as a community and constantly inform, persuade and convince society, our legal system and all stakeholders to legalised same sex marriage, gender transitions and provide safety, security and protection to all members of the society, including the lgbtqia+ folkx. ❤🌈
Womp womp
We need a Uniform Civil Code that will also legalise same-sex marriage
It's a matter for parliament not the courts
Until then we will keep on fighting!❤
LOVE WILL WIN!!
As a gay man, I support same-sex marriage and adoption by same-sex couples BUT as a democrat, I also think it's up to parliament to legislate on this issue and not upto the courts to tweek a law to make it say what lawmakers never intended it to say
so tomorrow if the parliament brings law saying rape is legal will be ok?
@@indosanct-rn9sr
Not from an ethical point of view and legally speaking, the law would go against fundamental principles in the Constitution, the supreme law of the land
Marital rape has yet to be criminalised in India, that kinda makes your comment ironic
Both the routes are fine.

Separation of powers is for the greater good
@@varoonnone7159 ever heard of binding regulations by SC? You talk like a newbie.
This CJI and the whole judiciary is a big let down

Forget about it now. CJI is going soon and the new one is yet another uncle type mentality person.
@@Rjvdby
The current CJI is not a homophobe but he's a judge, he doesn't make laws

Wonderfully said
So happy to see Rohin featured here 👏🏽
Bhatt man!
Goodspeed brother.
It shouldn't be legalized.
Why?
@@SenorSol A marriage can happen only between a man and a woman who can produce offspring naturally. A man is a straight male and a woman is a straight female, that's how I see it. LGBTQIA+ have some error in their manufacturing or they've some glitch in their software.
Why? Please objectively elaborate.
Who r u 😏

oh what suffering you guys endure. wearing make up lipstick frocks and such other difficult things while the average indian is doing easy things in life like working for a living in this recession
Trangenders, Kinnar community and a part of gay men in India wears lipstick and frocks. There is nothing wrong if it is not physically hurting someone and in fact Gandharvas of ancient India wear them (look for it in Mahabharat, etc). But my point is just like how not all Muslims are terrorists, not all men are rapists, etc - not all gay men and especially bisexual men wears coss-dress. I don't like to wear it and I know many men who also don't do it either. We don't hear much protests when women wears shirts/pants, which were historically designed for men.
But your stereotypical comment clearly says you miss the point of this video. We don't need marriage rights because we are suffering to wear lipstick and all. We need it because if my future partner is in life-death situation in future, I don't get to make a choice or sign on his behalf. Maybe I would not even be allowed to visit him. We need it because if I die without having a inheritance will, my partner will not get any of my inheritance, money or properties - maybe even the home we would have made. We need it because if I am dead, my partner will not have right of custody for my biological child/adopted child. We need it because parents of many same-sex couples lock their "adult" children against their wishes. We need it because of simplest basic thing that is dignity. Hope you got the point cause opposite-sex couple have everything above these and they then take it for granted by commenting shit like you had.

lol i will never understand why straight men think, all gay men are feminine
They also work for living otherwise they will die of hunger. If you want you can also apply lipistic, makeup and wear frock. Nobody stops you. So don't be jealous of others. Let other people live with their own ways.
Gay rights is the only thing where all political parties, religions etc are sath sath against gay rights. Only congress party has specifically promised to provide gay rights like developed countries in their manifesto.
Congress will never do it because of its Muslim vote bank
The RSS is more gay friendly than what Congress will ever be
Only a Uniform Civil Code can legalise same sex marriage
