Supriyo judgment denied marriage equality, but queer community resilience gives hope. Two avenues: political (amend SMA) & judicial (challenge indirect discrimination). Court reaffirmed Navtej Singh Johar & Lt Col Nitisha, so queer people can challenge special rights granted to married couples. Irony: Supriyo hailed by conservatives, but judgment implies possibility of marriage-free state & reducing legal significance of marriage. Courts may have to choose between queer equality & marriage significance.
