The LGBTQIA+ community has been marginalised since time immemorial. The topic of same-sex marriage and adoption has been considered taboo for ages in India, restricting its discussion. With changing times and the abolition of Section 377, the community has received more acceptance in the country, opening up avenues for discussion. The recent ruling reinforcing the restriction of same-sex marriage in India has had a giant impact on the queer community as well as the general population, bringing up the topic of same-sex marriage and adoption to the forefront. The ruling brought with it opposing views with some believing it to be a step backward while others considering it the right decision for our country. To keep up with the changing times, laws need to be reformed and updated to ensure equity and inclusion. Law students, the aspiring legal practitioners, and their opinion and attitude towards same-sex marriage and adoption would greatly impact the future legislature of the country. This study aims to provide clarity and insight into the current generation's prospective legal scholars' views and opinions on same-sex marriage and adoption. This study explores the attitudes toward same-sex marriage and adoption among law students. The survey method of research was employed, and a sample consisting of 100 participants pursuing an undergraduate degree in law from various colleges in Chennai was selected using convenience sampling. A self-constructed questionnaire consisting of 15 items was administered online for data collection. The data was analyzed using percentage analysis, and the findings have been represented through graphs and charts. Results and findings have been discussed. The implications of this study include providing insights to policymakers, lawmakers, and the general population into the probabilistic change in the future legislature regarding same-sex marriage and adoption. It also opens up avenues for further research.
