You see in my opinion having a concept of civil union is very necessary. Say even if I don't marry a woman and I have a relationship with another man and he is the one who loved me most in this world (let's say not sexually) . So I will expect the state to give him all the power attorney given to a wife in heterosexual marriage like inheritance, pension, signing authority, tax benefits etc. By recognizing two individuals in a civil union, you can give them legal rights they are demanding. As far as civil rights like divorce, alimony, domestic violence and other things are concerned, let's wait for UCC then the parliament will debate on the matter of homosexual civil rights ( if rahul gandhi allows the parliament to do so).

And yes lgbtq organizations are also demanding civil rights but that matter can be reserved for future as civil rights are not really fundamental rights. Rather they are created with a consensus between science and society like 18 and 21 as age of marriage in hindu the marriage act. Leave aside the muslim personal law stating 15 as minimum age of marriage for girls as islam and science going two opposite way is not really shocking but hindus yes they carry enough maturity and don't want to governed by some asmaani kitaab. One thing I forgot to add is that banning homosexuality is the provision in quran and bible not the hindu scriptures. So any hindu opposing homosexuality is actually supporting islamic values.

The mahabharata time and again jas characters who are described as neither completely man nor completely woman, cases where a man becomes woman and vice versa, the mahabharata is in fact quite explicit about sexual relations, and has paragraphs dedicated to explaining how intimacy and the likes have been misused as a reason for division.

Gender identity has existed since the ancient Vedic period my friend what are you saying? Shikhandi was a trans man in Mahabharata, Vishnu changed his gender a lotta times into Mohini, and also intersex people exist as much as trans people exist. The only scientific treatment for gender dysphoria (which makes people trans) is transitioning into the opposite gender. conversion therapy would simply lead to an increase in gender dysphoria of a person and it has been proven not to work in most cases.

Gender isn't just your biological make-up. Does it play a part? Absolutely. That's why the majority of people you see out there are comfortable being born and living as the gender they were assigned at birth on the basis of their sex. But at the same time, gender is also psychological. You are a man because you were born a male and you psychologically perceive yourself to be one. That's the norm but it isn't true for some people who may be trans or non binary. So it's not that simple

1. Because of the societal pressure and stigma against gay people, many gay men still marry straight women. The lives of these men and women is far worse than hell! Loneliness becomes their life. Hence, Gay people should be allowed to marry. 2. However, gay rights should stop here with marriage, health insurance, etc. Trans women should not be allowed to participate in women's competitions or should not able to get jobs under women's quota. Create a completely different category for gay and trans people legally. Just like there are men's and women's tournaments, there should be separate tournaments for trans men and trans women in which they can compete with each other. We don't need to ape each and everything that US does! US society is collapsing and is headed towards a race and gender war.

[@annmarysabu626]

A nurse here. I wouldn't call science an absolute truth. More of a trial and error. But if you consider science as true , then please understand the ICD has already declared being trans or gay is not an illness. And while on the subject, there are a lot of people who just not have the majority chromosome constitution XX and XY. People can have a extra X chromosome or an extra Y.or may even miss a X . They are a minority but still exist. So, i would have to argue that the idea of just biological man and biological woman is a religious and social one. Identifying as a animal is whole another issue.

[@lovestarlightgiver2402]

Not all men are XY and not all women are XX. Sometimes XYX and other forms exist too. Nature does not fit neatly into people's ideas of "pure man" or "pure woman". There are even people with male bodies but born with female brains or female bodies but with male brains. People should not be discriminated against just because they don't fit perfectly into another person's view of what a "real man" is. Discrimination against gay people is discrimination based on gender.
