India's top court declined to legalize same-sex marriage and left it to parliament to decide, agreeing with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government that the legislature is the right forum to rule on the contentious issue. The unanimous order by a five-judge bench came as a huge disappointment to the large LGBTQ+ community in the world's most populous country. Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud said there was a degree of agreement and a degree of disagreement on how far we have to go on same-sex marriage. The court left it to a panel, suggested by the government, to address "human concerns" of same-sex couples. Members of the LGBTQ+ community were seen coming out of the court in tears after the verdict. #Queer Up The World View
