Actress Celina Jaitly expresses disappointment over the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage verdict

The Supreme Court of India has ruled against granting legal recognition to same-sex marriages in the country. This decision has disappointed activists and the LGBTQ+ community, who were hoping for a different outcome. LGBTQ+ activist Celina Jaitly expressed her disappointment, emphasizing that the community is seeking the same rights as other Indian citizens. Jaitly hopes that the Indian Parliament will consider amending the Special Marriages Act to be gender-neutral. The Supreme Court, however, has shown commitment to exploring the rights and benefits that can be extended to queer couples.
