Summary
India’s Supreme Court has declined to legalise same-sex marriages but said the rights of LGBTQ+ people must be upheld. Five judges ruled they could not legalise such unions, which they said was parliament's job. In 2018, the Supreme Court had decriminalised gay sex in a landmark ruling. But the government and religious leaders strongly opposed same-sex marriage, saying it was against India's culture. #LGBTQ #India #BBCNews Please subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog #BBCNews
