Decriminalization of homosexuality by the SC in Navtej Singh Johar case remains a task half done, specially without the socio-political sensitisation about the issues faced by LGBTQIA+ community. Elaborate in light of ongoing debates on same sex marriage.

Navtej Singh Johar case (held by SC) → Homosexuality is also the 'Doctrine Notice' → sexual morality cannot outhouse Constitutional worth. Task half done because: (1) Continued discrimination in sexual sphere. (2) Denial of houses by lovers, Kadi of acceptance by families. (3) Homosexuality still continue in traditional society. (4) Lack of dignity in securo work (sex workers) bounded by transgendered.

Denial of access to secure like State protection. Access to financial tools available to a couple (Sri Third Bank through nominee etc.) Homophobia still captures in traditional society. Lack of dignity in secure work (sex workers) bracketed by transgendered. Protection of rights of LGBTQIA+ through awareness in institutes. Role of NGOs become critical. Need to promote self-identification → Promote sex education via NEP 2020.
