With the decriminalization of homosexuality in India in 2009, Indian queer subjects have become visible in various ways. Where Indian queer identities have asserted their public presence through Pride marches and protests, incidents of moral policing and surveillance, especially after decriminalization, have highlighted the broader social and religious attitudes that continue to pathologize homosexuality with grave outcomes. This article argues that debates around access to health care of Indian queer subjects must be framed against the social and religious pathologization of homosexuality in various contexts, which remains a primary bioethical dilemma, particularly in relation to legal change.
随着2009年印度同性恋合法化，印度的同性恋群体开始以各种方式进入公众视野。印度同性恋身份通过骄傲游行和抗议活动来彰显其公众存在，然而，道德监管和监视事件，尤其是在同性恋合法化之后，凸显了更广泛的社会和宗教态度，这些态度继续将同性恋视为病态，带来了严重后果。本文认为，围绕印度同性恋群体获得医疗保健的辩论必须置于各种背景下对同性恋的社会和宗教病态化的框架之中，这仍然是一个主要的生物伦理困境，特别是在法律变革方面。
