Right to sexuality, right to sexual autonomy and right to choose a Sexual partner is an intrinsic right under Article 21 of the constitution of India as Sexuality is an important part of being a human, whether or not a person chooses to be sexually active. Being healthy and able to express one’s sexuality freely is central to every person being able to develop and participate in the economic, social, cultural and political arenas. Article 21 can only be claimed when a person is deprived of his “life” or “personal liberty” by the “State” as defined in Article 12. Violation of the right by private individuals is not within the preview of Article 21. Article 21 applies to natural persons. The right is available to every person, citizen or alien. So, that right is also available to LGBT communities. Therefore, there must be a proper recognition given to LGBT community and giving compensation to them should be given to them on the basis of minuscule community which innates that under Article 15(4) the minority must be given consideration.
