In light of the recent Supreme Court judgment refusing the legalisation of same-sex marriage, Ondede, a Bengaluru-based human rights organisation focused on queer advocacy, held a public lecture on ‘Constitution and Political Representation for Transgender and Sexual Minorities Community in India.’
The event questioned the lack of queer representation in the legal, political, and legislative spheres and correlated the non-existence of queer-friendly laws to the same.
The lecture was moderated by M.S. Ashadevi, professor at Maharani Cluster University, between former Karnataka High Court judge Nagamohan Das and former JNU professor Purushothama Bilimale.
