study undertaken by the CHLET aimed to determine and analyze the impact of the landmark judgment of 2 July 2009 by the Delhi High Court on the lives of sexual minorities in Delhi. The Court\u2019s judgment was in response to a petition challenging the constitutional validity of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which criminalized consensual sexual activities between homosexual adults conducted in private. The judgment held that Section 377 infringed upon fundamental rights under Articles 14, 15, 21 of the Constitution of India, and declared the section to be unconstitutional to the extent that it criminalized private consensual sexual activity between adults.<br \/><br \/><\/div><div class=\"region region-content\"><section id=\"block-system-main\" class=\"block block-system clearfix\"><article id=\"node-1147\" class=\"node node-school-overview clearfix\"><div class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\"><div class=\"field-items\"><div class=\"field-item even\"><div class=\"ckeditor-custom-wrapper\"><p class=\"rtejustify\">The research conducted for this study\u00a0consisted primarily of personal interviews with members of the LGBT community. Researchers interacted with individuals belonging to different sexual minorities who described their lives before and after 2 July 2009. The findings of the interviews were compiled and correlated along with similar studies conducted in other parts of the world to provide a global picture, showing that decriminalization consistently leads to a rise in the level of social acceptance, and more importantly, self-acceptance of sexual minorities. This impact assessment is the first of its kind in India and provides valuable first-hand accounts of LGBT life pre- and post-decriminalization. The findings of this report clearly show that the Delhi High Court judgment has positively impacted the LGBT community and has improved the quality of life of sexual minorities. The report was published in March 2012.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article><\/section><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e7cd89d\" data-id=\"e7cd89d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e73f3fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-sidebar\" data-id=\"e73f3fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"sidebar.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<aside id=\"search-3\" class=\"widget single-sidebar widget_search\"><form role=\"search\" method=\"get\" class=\"search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cpgls\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<label>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Search for:<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"search\" class=\"search-field\" placeholder=\"Search &hellip;\" value=\"\" name=\"s\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" class=\"search-submit\" value=\"Search\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/form><\/aside>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This study undertaken by the CHLET aimed to determine and analyze the impact of the landmark judgment of 2 July 2009 by the Delhi High Court on the lives of sexual minorities in Delhi.
