Lgbt Rights Vs. Reality: The Global Scenario

Author(s) Saurabh Garg

Abstract LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community worldwide represents a very low proportion of population and due to this reason they are neglected and denied basic human rights which are crucial for survival. For these communities the world, the society, the laws and even the same human beings feels quiet different as to the heterosexuals. Forget about love, affection and care, they are even not completely accepted by others. People are since birth taught that they are different and deserve to be neglected even though it is not a choice to be LGBT. This piece is an attempt to throw light upon the various endeavors made by these communities to recognize their rights as well as to show that how inhumanly they were and somewhat now also are neglected by the government. Having imported great principles, came across various landmark judgments, created multiple legislations, how many countries still fail to provide the homosexuals basic human rights. However, it is not only the mistake of government and legislation but also of the people around which ultimately creates a cycle of discrimination and injustice. Even the family members try to hide the gender identity to save their honor. What can be worst? This way the LGBT people have to not only face physical violence but also the badly affected mental health. It is not the case that these communities are demanding something special or privileged but just a normal life. It is because we haven’t faced any form of discrimination for our basic rights, we feel that it is privileged. In this regard, the Navtej Singh Johar case brought to the fore the judicial discrepancies surrounding the LGBT communities and the lack of legal rights thereof. At this juncture, it is imperative for the best interests of the LGBT community to be identified and conscious efforts to be made by the law-makers to reconcile the existing differences. This paper is an attempt to make the readers realize their mistake they have been doing since so long and try to change their mindsets and thinking for these communities from different to equal.
