Queer History
British rule introduced Penal Code section 377 in 1860, and LGBTQ+ organizing later grew through community groups and India's first Pride walk in Kolkata in 1999. The Supreme Court struck down the provision as applied to consensual same-sex relations in 2018, but in 2023 it left recognition of same-sex marriage to parliament.
Major cities support LGBTQ+ parties, clubs, community organisations and men-focused wellness venues. Consensual same-sex relations were decriminalised in 2018, but national marriage equality has not been enacted.
