Struck down by the Supreme Court of India in September 2018, Section 377 penalized same-sex sexual activity in India, disproportionately targeting men who have sex with men and transwomen. There is little empirical research on the psychological impact of this law, which represents a form of structural stigma likely to have lasting psychological sequelae for India's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQϩ) community. This study explored perceived consequences of Section 377 among Indian sexual and gender minorities (SGM). SGM participants from India (n ϭ 170) were surveyed in 2017 as part of a larger study on minority stress. Participants were asked about the impact that Section 377 had on them and how the law made them feel. Their responses were coded and thematically analyzed. Fisher's exact-test was conducted to determine whether the prevalence of themes varied across 3 gender groups (men, women, and nonbinary individuals) for each question. Most participants (90%) perceived Section 377 to have some impact on their lives. A variety of detrimental effects were identified. Participants reported that the law contributed to their social and legal mistreatment and furthered stigma against LGBTQϩ individuals. They expressed concerns about being labeled a "criminal" and feeling pressured to conceal their sexual identity. Participants reported feeling fearful, angry, and dehumanized. There were minimal differences in the prevalence of themes across genders. The perceived impact of Section 377 is multifaceted and largely consistent across genders. Despite its recent abolishment, the cultural and psychological effects of 377 necessitate continued intervention and support for India's LGBTQϩ population.
