RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Supports LGBTQ Inclusion but Opposes Same-Sex Marriage Legalisation
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat acknowledged that LGBTQ individuals are an integral part of society and should be accepted with dignity.

Bhagwat suggested creating a separate legal framework to recognise same-sex companionship, arguing that society must be prepared before altering the existing institution of marriage, as laws reflect societal readiness.
