TL;DR Summary

India's Supreme Court will begin hearing final arguments on petitions seeking to legalise same-sex marriage. The debate is expected to be lively, with same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ activists hoping for a favourable judgement, while the government and religious leaders strongly oppose same-sex union. India is home to an estimated tens of millions of LGBTQ+ people, and a favourable decision will make India the 35th country in the world to legalise same-sex union and set off momentous changes in society.
