The Tamil Nadu Social Welfare and Women Empowerment Department, pursuant to Madras High Court’s directions, released a glossary of terms relating to the LGBTQIA+ community. The Madras High Court also instructed Government ministries and their departments to take measures necessary to eliminate prejudices against the LGBTQIA+ community, and also directed all concerned parties to only use the terms notified in the glossary while addressing persons from the LGBTQIA+ community. INDUSLAW’s Avik Biswas, Rithika Reddy and Animay Singh provide the key highlights of the notification.
