India  has a strong law  and it  is  essential for people in India to respect their law to create peace in the society.  In the year  2018,  the  Apex  court  of  India  came  with  a  verdict  for  the  LGBT  community by  decriminalising gay sex and making it legal, resulting in a huge group of people belonging to the LGBT community to achieve a right to practice for which they had been fighting over a long  period  of time.

This right  which  has  been  provided  to  them  makes  it  essential and  mandatory for the people of this community to be accepted throughout the country without  any differences and equal treatment by all.  LGBT is a loosely defined grouping of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender supportive  people, organisations and subcultures, united by a common culture and social movements.
