Two-thirds of urban Indians believe same sex couples should have the same rights to adopt children as heterosexual couples, while 62 per cent urban Indians believe same sex couples are as likely as other parents to successfully raise children, revealed a new global survey. The view finds resonance among the global citizens polled.  

The apex Indian court, in 2018, passed the landmark decision of scrapping Article 377, which decriminalized homosexuality. The Ipsos LGBTQ + Pride Survey of 19,069 global citizens says that at least 4 in 10 (44 per cent) urban Indians believe same sex couples should be allowed to marry legally and 14 per cent feel same sex couples should be allowed some legal status but not marry. While 25 declined to comment, only 18 per cent opposed it.
