"I Plan To Marry My Partner But...": Indian Sprinter Dutee Chand On Same-Sex Marriage Verdict
The Supreme Court of India announced its verdict on Same-Sex marriage on Tuesday, refusing to legalise weddings between queer couples or grant them the right to adopt children. The five-judge bench's refusal to legalise same-sex marriages is based not on an in-principle opposition to marriage equality, but on legal technicalities and concerns of judicial legislation. Many queer couples were looking forward to the top court's verdict and Indian athlete Dutee Chand was one of them. Dutee, however, wasn't pleased with the verdict that came in, saying she is hoping to see the parliament passing the law to make same-sex legal.
