Photo of the day: Same-sex in India marriages: Not so equal rights

An LGBTQ activist uses a phone at the courtyard of India’s Supreme Court in New Delhi on October 17, 2023. India's top court declined an appeal to legalise same-sex marriages in a blow to LGBTQ+ rights in the world's most populous country. The court ruled it did not have the power to legalise same-sex marriages and said any reform to that effect would have to come from the parliament.
