In this short essay, my co-author, Nilesh Sinha, and I analyze the Indian Supreme Court's recent decision in Koushal v. Naz Foundation in comparative perspective. Naz Foundation​ upheld the constitutionality of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which criminalizes "carnal intercourse against the order of nature." The Court arrived at this judgment despite strong evidence suggesting that this law has been misused by police to harass and intimidate members of the Indian LGBT community in violation of their rights to equality and privacy, among others. We aim to make two contributions to the academic literature and to in​crease awareness of this recent development.
