Supreme Court Says No To Same-Sex Marriages: Here’s What Celebs Have To Say About It

The Supreme Court has rejected petitions seeking same-sex marriage in India and has refused to tweak provisions of the Special Marriage Act. Here’s what celebs have to say about the same:

In our country, homosexuality is not yet recognised as legal. The recent Supreme Court order has left me feeling a bit sad, but I'm confident that there's hope for change in the future. Homosexuality exists in our society, but it's often stigmatized and frowned upon. I truly hope that one day, it will no longer be a taboo and will be embraced with open arms as an accepted reality. The concept of love, a force of immeasurable power, fuels my belief that it will ultimately prevail. Love knows no boundaries, and it has the capacity to break down the walls of prejudice and discrimination. I remain steadfast in my confidence that as society evolves, it will come to appreciate and accept the love shared by individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation. In the end, it is the strength of love that will lead us towards a more inclusive and compassionate future.

The Indian society has shown a growing acceptance of LGBTQ+ rights, and there's hope that legal recognition of same-sex marriage will eventually become a reality. As awareness and acceptance grow, there may be a shift in public opinion and legislative change. It's important for advocacy groups, activists, and allies to continue their efforts to push for more inclusive and equitable legal frameworks. While societal attitudes toward homosexuality have evolved in India, there are still pockets of conservatism where homosexuality is regarded as a taboo. However, it's essential to recognize that progress is being made, and an increasing number of people are becoming more accepting and supportive of LGBTQ+ rights. Change is often gradual, and ongoing education and awareness campaigns can help further reduce the stigma associated with homosexuality in India.

I believe the government should allow same-sex marriage. I understand that our society often holds narrow-minded views, but our Supreme Court judges are intelligent and wise individuals. Making this decision isn't easy, but I see it as a significant step for Bharat, and we should evolve our mindset. Homosexuality might be considered taboo in India, but our society is evolving rapidly. This is not the old India; it's the new Bharat. We are embracing homosexuality, and I believe that soon, the LGBTQIA+ community will receive the rights they deserve. I understand that there are concerns and challenges in allowing same-sex marriage, but nothing is impossible. India has transformed into Bharat, and if we aim to be a superpower, we must broaden our thinking. After all, they are also humans.

Well the world that I live in knows that sexuality is not a taboo. People should be allowed to live the way they want to. They are not doing anything that is bad, they are just following their heart and will and that’s how they are made. The way they are made, it doesn’t mean that our desires are the only desires that are right. They have the right to feel what they want to feel. We are a progressive country and I am amazed that we have opposed this. The recognition will definitely happen in India at some point probably when people who are ruling go through a similar situation. When there will be a lot of revolution, I think the country will accept it. Many movies already depict same-sex relationships as normal, which helps raise awareness. People have been struggling with this issue for a long time.

I'm a bit devastated, to be honest, that in India today, equality doesn't truly mean equality for all. I expect more from our homeland, from our people. In a democratic state, especially in the largest democracy in the world, equal rights should be granted to all without question. For a society to be truly equal, it needs laws that reflect diversity and equality. The Supreme Court's refusal to legalize same-sex marriage is a grave injustice. Homosexuality is considered a taboo not only in India but also in many countries around the world. The refusal to grant same-sex marriages only perpetuates this taboo and backward thinking, treating LGBTQ+ individuals as second-class citizens, which is fundamentally unfair. By denying same-sex marriages, our society will suffer repercussions as it fails to stand with minority groups. The law should serve everyone in the country, not just the majority. I hope for legislation that allows same-sex marriages in the future.
