MUMBAI: Actress Celina Jaitley says justice to the Indian LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community is long overdue, and that the law must put an end to the legal platform that segregates the community from others.

Celina, an LGBT activist, on Wednesday, tweeted, "Justice to Indian LGBT long overdue. Human rights of every individual are above all other rights, the law must put an end to the legal platform that segregates the rights of Indian LGBT from other Indians in the world's largest democracy."

The actress' tweet came a day after the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled out expanding the scope of the challenge to the validity of the Indian Penal Code's Section 377.

In an earlier interview, Celina had said, "Whether India accepts it or not, the fact of the matter is that there are millions of LGBT individuals in our country and they deserve the same set of rights and protection by law as every other citizen."

"An LGBT person has multiple struggles in all aspects of life, specifically women who in any case have to face many battles in our society," she added.
