The Supreme Court on Monday opened a door of hope for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community by setting the stage for reconsideration of its much- criticised December 2013 verdict upholding criminalisation of consensual gay sex. The SC’s 2013 ruling had dealt a big blow to the LGBTQ community by overturning a 2009 judgment of the Delhi high court, which had decriminalised Section 377 of IPC to legally permit consensual sexual relationships in private between adults of the same gender.
