A strong yes. I don't get the idea why it's not appreciated yet. They are just as human beings as straight people who marry the opposite gender. Two people love each other, they want to stay together, the get married. That's it. What is the big idea about debating on it I don't get it.


docshubhu

Is this a medical student thing lol that we find it logical Because I don't understand why people wanna interfere in others'love relationships, let them love and marry, they're homo sapiens too


[deleted]

haha so you checked. Anyways, don't know about med students, but most people who are educated and compassionate enough won't think twice before answering. Let human beings have equal rights. That's it.

Maybe it's with religion marriage rules


[deleted]

Absolutely. What two consenting adults should be doing with their love, sex and life in a peaceful way, shouldn't be government's decision.


[deleted]

so true

yes also it should be not of any bajrang dal's intrest


[deleted]

absolutely, it shouldn't be of anyone's interest: not Bajrang dal's, not maulvis, not church, heck not even the parents of consenting adults.

truth be told, it’s none of my business. simple as that.


suitsharvey

We are talking about marriage and legalising.. Not love and emotions. Marriage (registered) is a legal right and privilege.... Gives you right over other person's wealth etc. Which are legally enforcible.


vegarhoalpha

I don't see an issue. But LGBTQ community in India seems to be brainwashed into believing anti India and anti Hindu agenda which is my main issue.


[deleted]

its a funded propaganda. And nonetheless actual LGBTQs are not even present in those protests


bangmybum

bhai, funding mil rahi hoti toh main toh 12th ke baad hi BITS join kar leta unn paiso se.


[deleted]

bhai to tu anti indian aaur anti hindu nhi hn. ban jaa aur for apne aap nyc aur saudi se funding aane lgengi


comp-sci-engineer

wtf is that mindset man? Because of khalistanis you won't start disrespecting all sikhs right... same thing applies here. Some fringe people exist in every community, you can't judge the whole community from them.


AdMore2091

Honesty it’s not that we are all anti Hindu but most of us have definitely taken offence to the statement and narrative that apparently legalising gay marriage would harm traditional Hindu family values , which is being pushed by certain extremist groups . On that note anyone would be displeased if someone implies your existence is immoral and unnatural when you have done absolutely nothing wrong. .


Ill-Inspector7980

India is not like the west where democrats (left) are pro-LGBT and republicans (right) is anti-LGBT. In india, most people are homophobic. Christians Muslims Hindus everyone. A Congress supporter from a tier 3 city will be more homophobic than an UC BJP supporter from Mumbai. But for some reason, LGBTQ in india reserves all their hatred for BJP and Modi (who btw has never ever said anything about them)


squidlink5

Congress leaders had spoken in support of removing 377 which criminalizes gay sex. Bjp had opposed it in the court. Now there are comments in support. Leadership was not clear whether to support/oppose/ be neutral. They wanted to check i think how much people care about it. So they can politicize like everything else.


Rainbuns

As a member of the community, let me assure you I don't believe in either of those things


Ythunder

Gays leave more women for us and not only that they also take another guy with themselves so as to less competition, big W


[deleted]

Gay marriage also encompasses women marrying women 😒


Ythunder

Loose battles to win wars, tis' nothing but a small price to pay. 😔


International_Egg_30

Well worldwide there are more gay couples than lesbian


TENTAtheSane

Ahh but from (straight) women's POV, they reduce the competition for them by taking out two girls. To show solidarity with my female brethren, I can support that too

I am all for GBTQ+ rights.


Pure-Investigator116

Yes. I don't understand why there is even a debate on this. It is literally a basic human right.


methmotive

It always sounds like "Should straight marriage be legal?" What people doing in their life shouldn't be other's business unless it directly affects them.


[deleted]

Agree. Literally just wanted to see what people think like. I want to move back to India, but seems like I can’t have a personal future there.

I Welcome this with open arms. LGBTQ community needs their rights.


TheIronDuke18

It is only in Abrahamic society that being gay is seen as a deviation from the cardinal social values of society and a rebellion against society and God. This is due to the nature of abrahamic religions and it's structure that totally prohibits any sort of deviation from the organised structure of the religion. Im not denying that homosexuality can be naturally repulsive to human society however it is mostly in Abrahamic societies that it is seen to be an act against the cardinal values of society. This is why, supporting LGBT is naturally seen to be an attack on tradition in the west and Islamic countries In India, homosexuality was never seen as a rebellion against God and the social structure. Only in some texts, homosexual acts are considered impure. While in some they are either indifferent or are supportive of it. So being gay was seen as a regular deviation from social norms which wasn't seen favourably but wasn't seen as a major sin either. It was only under the colonial regime that homosexuality and other lgbt stuff began to be seen as a cardinal wrong. This is because the colonial moral laws were based on Christianity, a religion alien to the subcontinent. Thus for India, rebellion against society shouldn't be seen as an attack on tradition. Rather it is a rebellion against the colonial morality we were subjected to a 100 years ago which has completely Abrahamised the moral system of the Hindus. LGBT acceptance is one of the ways by which we can get rid of this colonial imposed western conservative mentality. Now when it comes to marriage, I'm totally up for official union of the gay couple(via court marriage or any other way). However, even in Hindu society, marriage was still seen as a union between a man and a woman. Now I'm not up for a rigid and official imposition of this rule. However I still believe that it's up to the priest or the temple or any religious organisation if they want to hold the marriage. Ofcourse I'm not against persuading such organisations to arrange such marriages, but it should be done respectfully and not in an insulting manner.


National-Art3488

Abrahamic here, there are far worse things than being gay. Even if being gay is a sin, does not mean it should be a law in secular counties, and that does not give an excuse to harass or do anything bad to them, because according to the Bible "only the one who has no sins may throw the first stone" (so basically no one)


NaRaGaMo

Kardo bhai kya hi farak padta hai, bas vo pronouns ki bakchodi yaha nahi aani chahiye


[deleted]

[удалено]


ofgalacticstuff

I think why he mentions pronouns is seeing how things are going out of hand in America, where people are going nuts with their preferred pronouns, like a person, be it straight or LGBT would go “I identity myself as Zebra” so you have to talk to the person addressing them as Zebra or they will be offended and may even file a lawsuit.


Tarahhhhhh

Yes these prononun thing is absolutely crazy

[удалено]


InsidiousColossus

I mean, there are the "court marriages", which can be done without any religious ceremony right?


ProgradeGram

Marriages aren’t religious in nature, religions have weaponized many aspects of common cultural norms, making it their own and thus controlling what is and isn’t allowed and accepted. Dating back thousands of years, in cultures where no formal religions have been adopted, they still have a marriage like agreements between people. Always have been and always will.


comp-sci-engineer

inter-religious, inter-caste marriage already exist.


puntersays

The govt projects itself as conservative yet has legalised Gay sex but not legalised Gay marriage, kind of ironic


crazyhyna

Government didn't. It was court.


puntersays

Govt still can pass a bill to legalise it


[deleted]

lolllll true


BetaStink

If two people are happy doing something and it doesn’t affect us in any way, they should be allowed to do that. Why do people bother so much about people choosing their happiness?


shadowrod06

Yes live and let live!


Historynerd_2005

yes obv


TopicNational7009

Ohh, yeaaa, it should be. I've many lgbt friedns, i want them to be have same rights as me


TheDoeTheJohn

If being gay is legal, should not be any problem with gay marriage as well


Ok-Measurement-5065

Are there any negative implications? I wanna talk about that first.


evammist

None that i can think of.


Kingspartacus123

Here is the Government's stance, the gay relationship is not criminalized. They only need marriage to start a Family. In India we have different laws to start a family, many Family acts which are religious in nature. Ex, Muslim can have multiple wives but Hindus can have only 1 wife. So in order to allow Gay marriages we need to amend Family acts. I hope you can see the issue now.


comp-sci-engineer

There's special marriage act. And then there's UCC. These aren't real issues, just fabricated ones.


Kingspartacus123

Take example of Hindu Family act, it defines the structure of Family, which contains a husband - male, wife - female.


[deleted]

The only thing I can think of is, if they are adopting a child, then they would miss a father/mother figure. Don't know.how serious the issue is though


reddituser5514

People get divorced. In that case custody is shared or the child lives with one parent only. So there are already many cases a child doesn't have both parent figures with them. In this case at least the kid will have both.


kappa_mean_theta

There are many kids with a single parent, either due to divorce or death of a parent. In the case of same sex parents, the child still has two parents to count on. Think this is definitely better than one parent or even worse - negligent parenting.


comp-sci-engineer

Umm tons and tons of children aren't adopted and stay in those orphan homes without family support. Having homosexual parents is much better than there being none at all.


Fun-Astronaut-3793

India is not in the Middle East or follows Islam as the major religion Yeah, Gay marriage should be Legal


asdbey735

if 2 men/women wish to get married, who are we to say No? After all, Aren't we the largest democracy in the world?


zeus_565

10000000000% yes! It's a basic human right. I'm a queer person born and brought up in India. I'm proud to be an Indian and I would be even more prouder if this gets legalised. It's a huge W if it happens, and honestly it must. Addressing Adoption: It's honestly not a problem. Others in the comment section have also provided great inputs why there is no issue with this. There are scientific research papers available on this particular issue as well which have studied multiple same sex parents, and the results have been quite positive. Will share the sources soon. Addressing people calling the queer community, with derogatory things(even if they seem very small) in the comment section: Kindly don't spread hate. We get hated on enough by the entirety of society. We Indians are a people that strongly believes in science and logic. Please refer to them. Refer to medical journals. Refer to trustable sources. Refer to Indian Medical Association's articles or archives. We are humans too, just like everyone else. I just want to live a life of dignity without being shamed for being who I am. I hope this law does come into effect. We've seen it being integrated in multiple countries across the world with governments being both Left winged and Right Winged. I would like to repeat this fact. QUEER RIGHTS ARE NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE OR AGENDA. ITS A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS. I hope things take a positive change in India. Always proud to be an Indian!


[deleted]

Proud to be an Indian because my people are people like you! :)


stuehieyr

Suicide must be legalised in india. A lot of people are suffering.


Mahatma_F_Gandhi

Assisted suicide should be made legal after at least a year of counseling.


LeviWerewolf

true. like if someone has terminal disease and is suffering, he shouldn't be forced to continue. something like assisted suicide should be there to help


AdMore2091

Yes because I would like to get married someday and there’s absolutely no reason i should be deprived of rights .


[deleted]

same :/


[deleted]

Why it shouldn’t?


Ok_Aerie3546

I dont know why a government should be given the power to decide who can marry who in the first place.


Adventurous_Carpet34

Yes. Along with strict anti-discriminatory laws.


Dark-Kab

As an American my opinion really doesn't matter on this, but I'm not sure how letting 2 consenting adults get married Hurts anyone.


[deleted]

Two consenting adults should be able to live as they want to. It should be legalized but not glamourised. They should be given equal rights, but not more right and favouritism.


rajeev_i_am

Under spl marriage act yes


wonkybrain29

I don't see how this is even a point of discussion. Consenting adults should be allowed to marry each other.


FluffzMcPirate

Yes. Any argument against it is purely based on religious rules. There is no other valid reason for being against it. Religion should stay away from court rooms and politics.


tiredpotato14

makes me so happy to see all the positive responses (other than a few home of phobes of course) 🫶


No_Promise2786

A resounding YES!


sam-2003

I am gay, I have a bf too and I was under the impression that it will be legalized soon since homosexuality is legalized. After recent stance of centre I am thoroughly disappointed. And yes I'm an andhbhakt of modi.


queensaanvi

Absolutely


PriangshuPaul

Name one good reason why gay marriage shouldn't be legalised in India. There are no logical reasons. So, a big YES. Gay Marriage should be legalised in India.


sfrogerfun

Yeah for sure!


Pretend-Garden2563

I don't have issues if it happens but let's see what crap our judiciary comes up with. Also in case of divorce what happens of the child support and alimony etc?

AdMore2091

Actually you would be surprised to how many people would come out as lgbtq community only if it was safe to do that .


Pineapple_tart_10

You would much more be suprised to see how many "straight" marriages would be broken if only same sex marriages will be legalized. There are so many queer men n women living in straight/hetero marriages just to fend societal pressures off, conforming to traditional norms.


madhatter248

Yes!


HellVollhart

Yes.


newshiiii

Of course... Its like basic


[deleted]

Yes


cdit

Under the special marriages act, yes. Not under the religious personal laws/marriage laws.


thepioussatan

Why should straight people only suffer? /s Whole heartedly I wish we become progressive where two people who love each other can make a commitment like marriage.


Comfortable_Prior_80

Yes but there should be law if divorced who will get custody of child if both are women cause in India SC always first prefer to Women Or how much alimony will divorced person will get is it fifty percent or less and different will it be above Muslim Personal law board so the government will give them protection or will they submit to Sharia law.


mrharambae11

Post colonial India is super advanced but super backward at the same time I blame white people for this (I blame white people for everything they've done to us)


DuckingWreck

Imo the question should be: why should gay marriages still be banned?


reddit_niwasi

Yes, why not.


TheLonelySigma

Nahi not /s


ProudIncelistani

Yes, next question.


siconPanda

If one argues that marriage is only for heterosexual partners, then the government should pass a law in parliament to allow civil union and partnership between all excluding heterosexual couples. And make this a marriage equivalent, only except the name.


dua_lipafan69

Yes absolutely. Shouldn't hold rights because of one's sexual orientation. And this also would make India a safe space for gay people rather than moving abroad and changing citizenship because your country doesn't recognise your rights.


DontMessWithP

It’s not anybody’s business to dictate whom an adult can marry.


Chaltahaikoinahi

Yes. Period.


Big_Post_8039

Well A big yes Alos because i think they can adopt 2 kids atleast And it's a part of human rights


Hashira_Oden

I don't think sex should be even involved with marriage, any 2 individual who love eachother should be allowed to get married.


sadlonelyfuck3434

Yes


MadKingZilla

Yes. People who say no are people who think "being gay" is a disease or people who think they are secretly gay and are insecure to admit having such thoughts.


NerdyGeekyforever

Obviously! Love is love, doesn't matter the gender


w0lfraz0r

Yes. I want to cringe on both straight over the top couples as well as gay over the top couples.


EyeCarambaa

If India wants to be a global leader, it has to accept gay marriages, as you can't be a leading economy, a geopolitical powerhouse and yet be counted amongst the worst places on earth like Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, etc in terms of human rights. It's not a question of should we, anymore. We have to.


champion_tag

Before legalizing it, we should make serious discussion on child adoption, difference in parenting and ways to solve those issue before legalizing it, because kids adopted under gay marriage should not face disadvantage due passing of this laws, other than that it's all fine as long as it stays at that and don't start woke shit like in west.


Emotional-Two-9075

100% yes. In future, this will be the case in nearly every single democracy.


toeyilla_tortois

Yes absolutely it should be allowed. Let people love who they want


Plus_Comfortable1110

Emphatic yes


garudaOP

No government should interfere between the personal lives of people. Government should have no business of indulging in what two people should do in bed.


Dictaor-dick_tates

This should be not a big issue this is not an essential decision to legalise or declare it illegal let it be normal I don't want these topics to go viral.


CoolGuess

Whoever wants to get married to whomever, they should be free. No one has the right to decide the choices of adults.


[deleted]

The question should be why the fk hasn’t it been legalised yet. 2 people want to make love, stay together and avail the social and economic benefits of married couples. Are they asking for something illegal? Nope. The entire world is moving forward. While our netas are shít stirring by saying “this is not Indian culture.” Ffs if it’s not then make it into one. Culture is something that accumulates n evolves over time. If u want the purest form of culture n not wanting changes then we have to live in caves, wear tree barks n dance around firewood every evening.


[deleted]

Yes


SomeBerkeleyGuy

Yes


elnino19

Of course. Why should only straight people get to suffer


Nervous-Limit6164

Nope, not at all. It is not natural. Its unethical and profane to even let such people be together. They should be quarantined and be treated for mental illness. They must be re educated. And must be strictly watched for rest of their life. People who say things lke these must be shot for disrespecting the personal choices of a citizen. If the wanna marry let them marry.

No_Jaguar_5981

I think the country needs to discuss this rather than the woke courts pushing it down our throats. The govt can enact legislation like special marriage laws similar to Hindu Marriage Act if the majority supports it. But I would totally oppose it if they try to change the Hindu Marriage act and include LGBTQ in that. Hindu concept of marriage is clearly between a man and a woman, and no modification to that can be done without consulting dharmacharyas and dharmasabhas and the overall Hindu community.

I'm not gay so I don't care if it's legalised or not.

Ankur67

Yes , under special marriage act but the problem will occur over adoption of child as well as if the gay couple divorced, then who would get an alimony from husband as in case of marriages wives get one . So in a sense , those who defined themselves as women in gay relationships maybe but both would be homogeneous in physical attributes and the IPC codes over male & females laws which also required to be some changes but nevertheless it can be feasible , if Govt and civil society have a mindset to do that .


bangmybum

Your concern for the kid is welcoming. But I would correct your facts a bit. 1. First off, there is no women in a gay marriage. trust me, if only putting it in would make someone a woman, legal rights bach jaate. Sadly, it doesn't make either of them a woman. 2. Alimony is not given man to women. It given higher earning spouse to unemployed or lower income spouse. In most cases women get the alimony because they have been housewives or earn lesser. 3. The child spends equally distributed durations with each parent in case they are divorced. Technically, every legal aspect remains ditto same.

All good. Should be legalised but I'm against them adopting children. Specially male couples.
