Akash Sharma, Dr. Rajesh Bahuguna
Abstract: This article delves into the multifaceted global landscape of LGBTQ rights, particularly focusing on the legalization of same - sex marriage. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the progress made in various regions, highlighting the stark contrasts between countries where same - sex marriage is legally recognized and those where LGBTQ individuals face severe persecution. The study examines key factors influencing these legal stances, including religious influence, social movements, judicial decisions, and international pressures. Additionally, it explores the evolving discourse on LGBTQ rights, emphasizing the significance of intersectionality, transgender rights, and the impact of social media. Through detailed case studies of countries like the Netherlands and India, the article underscores the complexities and varied experiences of legalizing same - sex marriage. It also discusses the broader agenda of LGBTQ rights beyond marriage, focusing on anti - discrimination laws, youth advocacy, and economic arguments for LGBTQ equality. The role of international advocacy and human rights law in advancing these rights globally is highlighted, along with the challenges posed by religious opposition and conservative movements. The article concludes by stressing the ongoing struggle for complete equality and the importance of building coalitions and engaging with diverse communities to foster a more inclusive world.
