“I would like them to understand that we are people. We're human beings, and this is a human life. This is reality for us, and all we ask for is acceptance and validation for what we say that we are. It's a basic human right.” VOGUE In this decade we have seen many changes in our own Human or Homo- sapiens community, there is no more orthodoxy in recognition of third gender or be specifically LGBTQ community, but only in the book of so- called lawmaker? Or we as a society truly accept them. the answer is No, we have law and statues for them but we didn’t accept them as normal, we show them support on various social media platform but do we in real life NO. and the reason I am answering this question because this is not my personal opinion but the answer has been concluded by research which I conducted with various google forms and with help of NGOs, there are many instances where people are discriminated on the basis of gender, one of the recent incident which happen in the world most powerful country USA, as per the newspaper report there were case in the Supreme court of USA, BOSTOCK v. CLAYTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, this is the case between employer and employee where one of the employee was terminated from the job due to his homosexuality afterward the approach the apex court the judges of the highest body quotes "An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law."i^ A individual homosexuality or transgender status is not relevant to employment. “That's because it is impossible to discriminate against a person for being homosexual or transgender without discriminating against that individual based on sex”ii. Not only in USA but in every part of the world this community is facing discrimination, based on their sexuality and gender, every now and then we gave them feeling that they are not normal, every human being is different from one another and we should respect every gender.
In India LGBTQ community is facing many problems as many from these community are hiding their true selves and now, they are stuck with their family because of this situation due to coronavirus lockdown, some of them are facing severe consequence after their families find out about their preference. I have gone through various social media platform connecting to these people they have shared their stories, how this lockdown affecting their life, they asked me to don’t reveal their identity which shows that how inhumane we are towards them that they didn’t have courage to openly tell their story, one of the member of their community, Kumar*, a young
gay man living in a town in northern India, was physically assaulted by his family, who then called the police, when they found out his secret. "They found his phone - he was chatting with someone or sharing photos
Now its high time to change the world by changing our own opinion, Once a wise said “ if you want to change the world, Start making your own bed by today” same we should change our opinion, Government and Many NGOs dedicated toward empowerment of LGBTQ community, Regarding this there is recent development The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) on Wednesday said that the Sector-50 Metro station, which will be dedicated to the transgender community, has been named as ‘Rainbow’ stationv. These are initiatives where government is helping the LGBTQ community to empower not only Government but there are many NGOs name Ya-all have made India’s first transgender football teamvi^ it shows that we are giving them space of their own and its high time that we should accept them whole heartily as one of us, if we see them as abnormal being remember we are not normal not them.
