On September 6, 2018, Supreme Court of India in its landmark judgement decriminalized Section 377 of Indian Penal Code, allowing sexual orientation or relationship between two consenting adults of the same gender in private. It upheld the basic right to live and work with dignity irrespective of sexual orientation and/or preferences. This judgment has a long-term impact on the workplace scenario in India, as it insists on equal opportunity and recognition to the employees irrespective of their sexual orientation and/or preferences. This paper aims to understand the way LGBT community is looked upon and treated at the workplace in India, issues faced by the members of this community at workplace and ways to get them into the mainstream Indian workplace.
