Description
June 7th 2021 is a historic day for the LGBTQIA+ community. In a significant judgment upholding the rights of members of LGBTQIA+ community, the Madras High Court has issued a slew of guidelines to ensure that. The Madras High Court has directed the Union and the State Government to take steps to prohibit attempts by physical and health professionals to medically ‘cure’ or change the sexual orientation of people belonging to the LGBTQIA + community. Any professional claiming to do so will have his licence withdrawn. These directions were passed by a single bench of Justice Anand Venkatesh while considering a writ petition filed by two lesbian women seeking protection. Listen to the Dynamic Lawyer Manuraj who fought on the behalf of these vulnerable women and has changed the course of history. The world needs more of ‘Manuraj’s’ who has addressed the situation with compassion and intelligence and has changed history this year forever! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
