Over 800 people at Delhi's LGBTQ+

Pride marched for more rights.

LGBTQ+ people in India want the law to allow same-sex marriage.

And we need to be heard equally."

Until 2018, when the law was changed, same-sex relationships were illegal.

People could be sent to jail for 10 years.

But life's still difficult for LGBTQ+ couples.

Mikali Singh: "And there'll be more acceptance because in society marriage is accepted."

Traditional views on relationships, which are still common, have a powerful effect.

LGBTQ+ people are often ignored by their families and friends.

But times are changing.

Even Bollywood films and series now include LGBTQ+ characters.

Akash Rathore: "It is a high time for India to look for equality.

If you see, historical India was always a place where we respected you, like, equality."

LGBTQ+ couples have complained to India's Supreme Court.

It will decide if the law is unfair.

India could become the second country in Asia to allow same-sex marriage, after Taiwan.
