INTRODUCTION “a gender- equal society would be one where the word ‘gender’ does not exist; where everyone can be themselves” Rightly said by- Gloria Steinem. “History ones an apology to the members of this community and then families, so this delay in providing reprisal for its ignominy and ostracism that they have suppressed through the centuries. The members of this community were compelled to this a life full of fear of reprisal and persecution. This was an account of the ignorance of the majority to recognize that homosexuality is a coupelity natural condition, part of range of human sexuality. This misapplication of this provision denied them that fundamental Right to equality guaranteed by Art-14.it infringed the fundamental right to non-discrimination under Art15 and the fundamental right to live a life of dignity and privacy guaranteed by Art 21.The LGBT persons deserve to live a life unshackled from the shadow of being unappreahanded factors, Supreme court through a sec377. In this paper the author will analyse the drawbacks, the hurdles in society which make it difficult to achieve the goal of equal status, opportunity and gender equal society. When I talk about the LGBT community the word LGBT individually doesn’t clicks in my mind but comes along with gender inequality now the question come here who does this inequality amongst all of us, is that the Law of the land or we the people of India the answer is so clear, the culprit are “we”, the whole society, our conservative thoughts and it was not the Law but we who bounded the Law in past to give the tag of criminals to the individuals of LGBT community. The constitution of India itself gives the right to equality but is this right actually helping the real in need. If I talk about past days truly speaking the law of the land itself discriminated the LGBT community and the individuals forming homosexual relationship were held to be criminal and were convicted section- 377 of the Indian penal code i.e. “punishment for Unnatural offences”. On one side the constitution of India provides equality amongst all and no discrimination to be done on the bases of race, caste, sex etc and on the other section 377 was a huge contradiction to article- 14 of the Indian constitution but, as we know that “wrong comes but cannot survive for so long” so here once again the battle is over partly, I used partly here because I think the fight is over only from one side the is Law but it is still in continuance and will be till the time we the people accept the true equality which is for all and avoid discriminating the community and start motivating them, loving them from the deepest corner of our heart to make them feel the happiness of living more comfortably, suitably without any fear of being harassed for what they actually are.

Mostly these terms are utilized to the people who would not hetero. Does really taking birth with the feeling of homosexual is a crime? I think not at all because who are we to bind the inner feeling of an individual towards another individual of the same sentiments I’ll not comment about law but I personally feel if I discriminate them on what they are then I am the person to be held criminal for this act of mine because this is something against humanity.
