Actress Celina Jaitly says justice to the Indian LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community is long overdue, and that the law must put an end to the legal platform that segregates the community from others. Celina, an LGBT activist, on Wednesday, tweeted: "Justice to Indian LGBT long overdue. Human rights of every individual are above all other rights, the law must put an end to the legal platform that segregates the rights of Indian LGBT from other Indians in the world's largest democracy."
The actress' tweet came a day after the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled out expanding the scope of the challenge to the validity of the Indian Penal Code's Section 377. A UN equality champion who promotes its Free and Equal campaign, she said the Section 377 "must go".
