Suchetan Bhattacharjee, a 41-year-old transgender man, expressed a hint of hope in the Supreme Court's recent judgment on LGBTQAI+ rights, but also disappointment over the denial of legal recognition for same-sex marriages. Bhattacharjee highlighted the sensitive discussion by the Chief Justice of India regarding the struggles faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, but noted that there is still a long way to go. While the court refused to recognize gay marriages, it advocated for benefits, privileges, protection from discrimination, and the right to adopt for same-sex couples. Bhattacharjee hopes for a change in the stigma and taboo surrounding the trans and queer communities.
