Will the Supreme court’s judgement on Section 377 affect mental healthcare for LGBT groups?

Prabha S Chandra
Abstract:
I started this article with a certain amount of indignation at Vinay Chandran's severe comments on mental health professionals in India and their negative attitude to homosexuality. Having had discussions about this issue with many of my colleagues and students, I know that "we" (at least in my circle) do not discriminate on the basis of sexuality, just like we do not discriminate on grounds of caste, creed, race or religion. All these form part of training in Good Clinical Practice.
