Points from LGBTQIA+ community discussion [Chennai April 23, 2023] on Marriage Equality shared with the Government of Tamil Nadu.
This report is about the families that are assigned to us and those that often are the biggest road blocks to being able to live the way we want to. The families that are supposed to be spaces of nurture, care and support, turn against their own children (often at very young ages), treat them with utter disregard and violence, and force them to conform to socially accepted ideas of what is “normal” without any regard to the individual’s dignity or personhood.
Besides marriage equality, we are also asking the SC to remove the SMA notice period, recognise that those of us who choose to be / are single, or do not wish to marry, and also need the right to appoint person/s of choice who can act on our behalf when the need arises.
