A lot has changed between December 2012 — when the Supreme Court overturned the Delhi High Court's decision which decriminalised homosexuality among consenting adults — and September 2018, when the country's top court upheld that sexual autonomy is a pillar of individual liberty.

And the credit for that goes to years of advocacy and sensitisation that the community has worked towards through various initiatives.
