The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliate Vishwa Hinsu Parishad (VHP) welcomed the Supreme Court’s majority view which held that non-heterosexual couples cannot claim an unqualified right to marry. The Sangh, which since the beginning had maintained that LGBTQ relationship is a ‘disorder’, had attempted to evolve with time and give ‘acceptance’ to queer couples but its affiliates have always taken remained reluctant in engaging on this issue.
Minutes after the five bench judgement on LGBTQ was announced, the RSS’s publicity in-charge, Sunil Ambekar took to X (formerly Twitter) and said that the decision is welcome.
“Our democratic parliamentary system can seriously discuss all the issues related to this and take appropriate decisions,” he added.
