The community of LGBT are often rejected, tortured, discouraged and bullied in our society. Not only in India but in the other countries the LGBT community had a lack of legal and human rights. Although these rights have now been amended and as several reforms has been made with the help of precedents and rallies but yet there are several problems which is yet faced by the community. Though the human right absolve rights given to every individual of the country and provides a framework to all the citizens to choose their own life styles that is also centred on same sex relationship. Therefore, the discrimination of homosexuality, protection of human rights and non- discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation should be on the agenda of every human rights organisation. However, due to the decade of lesbian and gay activism few agenda was included under the human rights regarding the gay and lesbians and primarily gained attention by the US and Europe. In India, at that time had not been raised the issues of lesbian and gay rights. The only initiative undertaken in India was a gender on gender just laws organised by women’s group and human rights group in 1996 where the lesbian and gay rights were discussed openly on a broad platform with people from various backgrounds. Not only lesbians and Gays but also other minorities such as transgender, hijras, prostitutes also challenge the same norms as heterosexuals, patriarchy, monogamy and controls of women sexuality. At one level the norms of the family in India has to be questioned from its very roots as the law should broaden the concept of family and has not to be judged and believed from the view of hetro-patriarchy but also through other views that reflect lived realities. This paperback has focussed on the legal rights and Status of lesbian and gay men, transgender and bisexuals and will also attempt to state some extraordinary fights against discrimination by the community.
