 this day has been and waiting for years and years the community has been fighting for the same rights that everybody else has in this country and today I can say that I'm not a criminal and I'm excited for that. I think the fight has been going on since last 157 years if I'm not wrong. The colonial draconian law of 377 we saw the light of the day after the Delhi High Court ruling in 2009 but then it was scrapped again in 2013 but now finally I think we've got the milestone landmark judgment by Supreme Court today. Today is a historic day I mean the results come out in the community's favor and it's going to change life. I'm just going back to college and probably like running around with a flag or something I don't know we can do whatever we want now. I'm very happy and it's very hard to believe what's happened and we finally have the legal backing in this country to exist freely and as equal citizens of this country as any other cis-het, gender-gender social people in the country and it's a big thing for us and finally the conversation on social acceptance can also begin. It's a big day for not only for the LGBT community, for the entire country. People now have the freedom to openly proclaim their sexuality without being judged. If they are discriminated against they have a legal system which can be followed so that they can be given justice accordingly and now as they have been declared as with their own identity which is their right to privacy as well nobody now nobody can question the existence of the LGBT community. I think it's the first step in the huge long journey that we have yet to you know yet to tread to achieve acceptance and sensitization and awareness but yes legal change leads to social change so I think it's the step in the right direction. It's just a tiny step we will celebrate today but we have so much more work to do. I don't think acceptance is going to come so easily because obviously like just because one declaration has been made doesn't mean that everybody is just going to wake up tomorrow and you know be like yeah this is natural but at least now we have a law that backs us as a community and at least like you know now yours yeah yours down the line at least our generation or the next generation will know that you know this isn't wrong and we're all human. Legally we won and now the next challenge is socially, culturally we have to fight in the society, home, in the neighborhood, in offices, elsewhere to fight with the stigma, to fight for the acceptance etc. I think I'm going to mainly like celebrate with my family because I think my mother has been waiting for this judgment for over 10 years now since the day I've come out with her so I'm super excited to celebrate with her.
