Housing discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community is a significant issue in India. Many community members face discrimination and prejudice when looking for housing, particularly in rental properties. One of the main challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community is the lack of legal protection against housing discrimination. There are currently no specific laws in India that protect individuals from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. This means that landlords and property owners can refuse to rent to LGBTQ+ individuals, and there is little legal recourse available. There have been some efforts to address these issues. For example, some LGBTQ+ organizations have established safe houses and shelters for community members who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Additionally, some housing providers and real estate agents are beginning to recognize the importance of inclusivity and diversity, and are actively seeking to create more welcoming and inclusive environments.
