Previously in an interview with Indian Express, Sonam spoke about gay rights and said, “It’s a basic human right. It’s not about lesbian, gay, male, female or transsexual. It’s about being able to be who you want to be and being somebody who is just themselves. I have advocated that from the beginning of my career.”

In 2013, the Supreme Court had criminalized homosexuality under the section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. Today’s judgement makes history and everyone is hoping that the country will embrace equality in the truest sense.
