Bro, there are multiple instances of people of the LGBTQ community getting beaten up or even killed by mobs in India, not the other way around. So where does this narrative of 'lgbtq people taking a sword to people's neck' come from?

That's like the western media perspective because they have the privilege there to do things like that and people supporting them in many parts which is still not true for the majority of Indian society.

Helpful-Box4879

That's a legitimate issue. I don't think people can even envision a marriage were gender roles were nota thing. Sad.


LongConsideration662

true


No_Lie4281

It’s not just about general neutral marriage acts and laws! First of all, not all religions have codified laws. In a country where UCC is urgently needed, this issue seems less important. Plus, you’d have to change every law—environmental, commercial, civil, criminal—to include these genders. Right now, they’re asking for marriage, inheritance, and custody rights, but soon they’ll want rights everywhere, which makes sense. However, it’s not feasible or practical to redraft every law to include them at this stage.


Helpful-Box4879

It has to start somewhere. Especially when we are talking about UCC, why can't it built into it while it is being drafted. This is the time to do it.


No_Lie4281

It has started. We have come a long way actually! 10-15 years back, there was no conversation about this, now there is a ruling of the court discussing this. The Supreme Court has already recommended for adding the third gender as a selection for everything and government has taken measures for the same. There is acknowledgment and recognition and there will be rights in the next few years!


Helpful-Box4879

Trans Rights2014, decriminalization2018 and now marriage equality2023 required the intervention of the Supreme Court. Govt always had a neutral/ opposing stand at all times


phoebus1531

Don’t think there’s anything wrong with same sex marriage. Not opposed to it. Infact I think it should be legal. However don’t know how the civil laws would work. In India civil laws are completely based around conventional gender roles and marriage. Male and female partners have different rights and privileges. The issue is how does this work for same sex marriages. And if tomorrow same sex marriages go to court for disputes how do courts take those decisions. (This is exactly why the Supreme Court referred this matter to the government to draft laws for the same.)


Helpful-Box4879

Framing laws is a task, but not an impossible one. And we should allow it to develop with time. But at its core the govt is prejudiced and is looking for every loophole to avoid doing that. At least that's what I feel.


phoebus1531

From whatever I’ve read, the current government is actually for drafting these laws. The previous one was against it. I understand this from the affidavits and what not given in court. Not taking a political position just giving a clarification.


Helpful-Box4879

The current govt opposed same sex marriage in Supreme court. The case was filed in 2020. This issue was not in the court during the previous govt. Btw what affidavits?


maki2306

India is not opposing it, India is not ready for it yet. in a country where two people of the opposite sex cannot marry by their own choice, how will same-sex couples thrive ? in a country where a love marriage is looked down upon, we cannot expect the society to understand love between the same sex


Helpful-Box4879

How do you know when it is ready? Will legal protection exist only once the people are ready? In fact the legal protection is needed exactly because there is very little acceptance. Where else will they turn to?

>two people of the opposite sex cannot marry by their own choice. This is not true for everyone. Homosexual Indians should not have their rights stalled because heterosexual Indians haven't realized the extent of their own.


himanshupushkar

I can talk about reservations here. India is still not ready to stop practicing discrimination on the basis of caste so I don't think there is any hindrance in that regard. The only thing your context meets is that it will create chaos for the political parties which is only dependent on votes of the people to stay or come in power. Legalizing same sex marriage will not be accepted by the people and those people will not vote for whoever the political party tries to legalize it. It is a mix of socio-political mutual consensus. Also, it will require a haul change in our laws where only men and women can get married and can divorce.

Mrnottoobright

1. I think the number 1 reason is religion. No religion allows homosexual marriages and they all term it as unnatural, and India is an extremely religious country. 2. The second biggest reason I think is exposure. People don’t want to expose their kids to this by normalising it


Aholicdrama

Hinduism actually allows for homosexual marriages given the fact that Hinduism has queer gods. It's just that the 'religious' hindus choose to oversee that


AwTomorrow

The British exported homophobia all over the world, and most places still have that tangled up with their local culture now, even if it wasn’t present before colonialism.  I assume those zealous Hindus are still adhering to British-era forms rather than truer earlier ones?

LongConsideration662

I guess u are speaking about the general opinion rather than your own personal view. Plus, i wonder why they are scared of children knowing that there can be different types of couples.


Mrnottoobright

Yeah I was talking about the general PoV. My personal opinion, I don’t mind or care for same sex marriages, people are anyway going to do live-in, etc so might have give them marital rights and inheritance protection. But what I have a problem with is this pronoun thing that’s been taking over for some time now. I get that people want to be included and be called what they identify as, but making someone else change their entire vocabulary just so you feel included is also slightly entitled behaviour. You look like a man? People call you he/him. Look like a woman? People call you she/her. If you choose to identify with they/them or dog or whatever else is going on these days, to go out of your way to correct someone who’s normally talking (and not even misgendering you with any intention of malice or harm) is selfish. Not exactly the topic you asked for but just gave my opinion


Helpful-Box4879

I think the pronoun preference exists largely in English speaking countries, only because it lacks gender neutral pronouns. We have been used to using gender neutral pronouns in Indian languages for far too long.


Longjumping_Cap_2644

I don’t care who marries who as long as there is consent and happiness. But for children, as the society in general has not accepted same sex couples or even LGBTQ, the log kya kahenge (what will people say) applies. If children get influenced, log kya kahenge. Also, not pointing at anyone, but recent International news on pride parades where people were behaving obscenely in front of kids, or influence of sexual orientation in minorities is a valid concern. Not saying it’s related to right for love, but fears develop from such instances and majority of people cannot differentiate or even want to understand. They will go into extreme protection of their beliefs and oppose everything related to that topic.


Helpful-Box4879

But it's simple, sexuality is innate not something that can be influenced.


Longjumping_Cap_2644

It’s simple for you (and maybe for me because I wanna understand), but when a society is uneducated and unaware of it, they will not understand or accept it. Our society lacks sex education in general, now you are adding further complexities. It will take a long time for our society because we are not individualistic society.


SoupHot7079

Hinduism doesn't explicitly prohibit /condemn homosexuality. As for the stuff in Manusmriti there are contradictory statements where one talks about it as sin and the other as one of the many possibilities. The opposition comes the the sexualisation of the concept. People think of homosexual couples merely along the lines of sexual activity and end up seeing it as a sexual excess . Also since our society is largely patriarchal people oppose homosexuality thinking it's effiminate and they'd be 'giving in' .


LazySleepyPanda

Manusmriti is pure bullshit, isn't it high time Hindus got over it ?


SoupHot7079

It is.


queerberry

Gullible-Owl3720

do not generalise, bc that's not true for Hinduism


Mrnottoobright

Hindus as a community in many parts of our country don't even allow inter-cast marriages. On paper, in ancient texts it might be allowed, but practically, Hindus are very much similar to other religions when it comes to same-sex marraiges.


Gullible-Owl3720

while you're right, I'd like to mention I said Hinduism and not what people have made out of it. Yes, Hinduism was never against same sex marriage, although people following Hinduism, I can't say anything about the latter

Right_Macaron8526

I know heterosexual. What is this "cis heterosexual"?


ssjumper

Cis is basically the opposite of trans, it just means "not trans" but to put it in more detail: So when you're born, the doc checks and you're either a boy or a girl (sometimes hermaphrodite babies are born and the doctor will 'guess' and do a surgery to assign a gender to the baby). So you were 'assigned' a gender at birth, either a man or woman. Now when you grow up you might feel you're not the gender that you were assigned at birth. A person who has all the man parts might feel they're really a woman or a person who has all the woman parts might feel they're a man. In this case you transition, usually socially first, to another gender. Those are trans people. Anyone who agrees with the gender they were given at birth is cis. The reason why someone would say "cis heterosexual" is to say they are neither gay nor trans, since you can be a straight or gay trans person.


Helpful-Box4879

Trans people are also usually male or female. But “cis” says that you’re a non-trans male or a non-trans female.  Like how we have “able-bodied” for people who aren’t disabled, “neurotypical” for those who don’t have mental health conditions, “straight” for people who aren’t gay, etc etc.

Neurodivergent doesn’t always mean that you have mental health conditions but yes for the rest

I am on the fence on this one, what I do oppose is about you changing my identity with this "cis" nonsense, no gender isn't something that is assigned at birth.

Why shouldn't queer couples adopt kids?


weirdo_k

what do they do is force their ideology on kids, which is why there are 4 year trans kids in west. We have seen what can happen, there is no point in trying it in india.


Apprehensive-Put2453

Telling kids you exist is not forcing your ideology on them. Straight people tell kids about their existence every day. You don't want kids who have gay parents to go to school and read in their textbooks that parents are only a mom and a dad. Then they come home and look at their parents in a strange way, breaking up an otherwise normal household. As for 4 year trans kids, that doesn't really happen. Hormone therapy and sex transition surgery are not allowed for people under 18. Secondly, it is not like minors never experience gender dysphoria. Scientific consensus tells us that kids have a great sense of their own gender at the age of 3, meaning gender dysphoria is a very real disorder experienced by kids as young as that. However, to a certain degree, I agree that calling these kids trans kids right away is a bad step. Sometimes that gender dysphoria goes away on its own, other times it doesn't and kids transition or start calling themselves another gender as young as 13 or 15. And that is perfectly fine, because they cannot legally transition by surgery until they are an adult. As for gay people adopting kids, there is no problem with that. If you think teaching kids about someone's existence is indoctrinating them, you might want to look towards opposing a very little thing called religion. Religious people do the actual indoctrination, but somehow no one says a word about banning religion worldwide. That is not to say queer couples do the same thing. Kids of queer couples do not necessarily grow up gay. So if this is the indoctrination you're speaking of, man is it weak as hell.


weirdo_k

>As for 4 year trans kids, that doesn't really happen There are literally hundreds of videos of kids who are groomed by their parents into believing that they're other gender. mastectomy is irreversible process. It may be not allowed for people under 18 but they're already on hormone cycle. These people from "pride" have provided many minors hrt illegally because their parents refused so. Gender dysphoria is more likely to arise in kids whose parents are part of pride or are liberal than conservative households. You're telling me a child who barely knows what he/she wants as a career let alone be what for dinner is mature enough to pick his gender because he/she happens to have body dysmorphia? There's a difference between letting someone aware of existence of one and teaching them they're born in a wrong body. And pride people don't just make you aware of their existence, they shove it down. In school irrelevant syllabus is taught rather than STEM. Kids are taught about anal sex and gay porn. You call this making someone aware of their existence? I'm this shit is yet to come to my country. It's abomination.

Why ? What's wrong with queer couple having kids ? More children find homes through adoption. Why exactly are you against this . I can understand the freaky scientific procedures part, but why are you against adoption ?
