Abstract
Two years have passed by. Law, in a much-celebrated verdict, had acknowledged our sexual citizenship in India. Still, I am afraid, I can only represent an unpopular opinion in the queer movement. I can only share stories from the vantage point of a Dalit queer person. My humblest apologies if it doesn’t feel celebratory enough of Navtej Singh Johar v Union of India. 1 I want to put across that the LGBTQ+ movement or what has come to be known as the gay agenda works for us no different than the courtrooms that often acquit the perpetrators of caste violence inflicted on many in my community. Our lives beyond law are more complex and the tactical moves that lawyers adopt to win cases are often an erasure of these complexities.
