Madras high court order offers LGBTs a ray of hope on gay marriage

IndiaTimes Sunday, 26 November 2023
The Madras high court has suggested the Tamil Nadu government consider adopting a 'deed of familial association' to provide protection and recognition for LGBTQIA+ couples. This emerging concept would allow individuals in such relationships to live together and be protected from harassment and discrimination. The deed would not grant legal status or rights of marriage or civil unions. This order comes after the Supreme Court refused to recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions, placing the responsibility on the legislature.

This Day in History: The Stonewall Riots Begin

After decades of being targeted by the NYPD, the patrons began to fight back by throwing bottles at police. Several days of protests followed, mobilizing into the Gay Liberation Front and other gay civil rights organizations. The NYPD made a formal apology for its role in the riots — and for the laws that led to them — in 2019
