Here’s a list of India’s top lesbian, gay, and bisexual stars. Still, a handful already have-and they’ve been celebrating the court ruling on social media. With gay sex only just becoming legal, it will take time for the big stars in India’s celebrity world to come out. Top Bollywood actors-including Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Sonam Kapoor-have also rejoiced at the repeal of the colonial era Section 377, which banned same-sex sexual activity.
The historic decision was lauded by LGBT+ activists, both in India and across the world.
In a landmark ruling, India’s Supreme Court decriminalised homosexuality on Thursday.
