A | NEW DELHI -- India’s top court on Tuesday refused to legalize same-sex marriages, passing the responsibility back to Parliament in a ruling that disappointed campaigners for LGBTQ+ rights in the world's most populous country. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud also urged the government to uphold the rights of the queer community and end discrimination against them. Earlier this year, the five-judge bench heard 21 petitions that sought to legalize same-sex marriage. Chandrachud said there were degrees of agreement and disagreement among the justices “on how far we have to go” on same-sex marriages, but a majority of the judges agreed that the court cannot grant LGBTQ+ people the right to marry as that is a legislative function. “This court can’t make law. It can only interpret it and give effect to it,” the chief justice said, reiterating that it was up to Parliament to decide whether it could expand marriage laws to include queer unions.One of the petitioners, Mario da Penha, said it was “a day to be disappointed but not to lose hope.”“There's been tremendous work that has gone into these petitions, and many hopes and dreams of the queer community attached to them - to lead lives that most other Indians take for granted. The fact that the dream could not come to fruition today is a disappointment for all of us,” he said.He added that it was not yet clear if the court had set a mandate or timeline for Parliament to act. “Without that mandate, there is no pressure on Parliament to enact any legislation.”“There are queer couples today that are already families and in relationships, and are pillars of society. That they are not afforded the dignity and rights that they are due is deeply disappointing,” said Karuna Nundy, one of the lawyers representing the petitioners. Legal rights for LGBTQ+ people in India have been expanding over the past decade, mostly as a result of the Supreme Court’s intervention. In 2018, the top court struck down a colonial-era law that had made gay sex punishable by up to 10 years in prison and expanded constitutional rights for the gay community. The decision was seen as a historic victory for LGBTQ rights, with one judge saying it would “pave the way for a better future."Despite this progress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government resisted the legal recognition of same-sex marriage and rejected several petitions in favor. During the hearings, the government argued that a marriage is only between a biological male and a biological woman, adding that same-sex marriages went against religious values and that the petitions reflected only “urban elitist views”. Religious groups too had opposed same-sex unions, saying they went against Indian culture.Adish Aggarwala, the president of the Supreme Court bar association, said the court had done the right thing by recognizing that this was a job for Parliament, an argument the government also made during the hearings. Lawyers for the petitioners argued that marriage is between two people, not just a man and woman. They said concepts of marriage have gradually changed with time and laws should acknowledge that. By not recognizing such unions, the government was depriving same-sex couples of their right to equality enshrined in the constitution and rights enjoyed by married heterosexual couples, from adoption and medical insurance to pensions and inheritance, they argued. “This court needs to push society to acknowledge same-sex marriage,” one of the lawyers said.Petitioners were hopeful that the Supreme Court could challenge the government’s position.But even as some of the justices urged that the state must make sure queer couples don't face harassment or discrimination in accessing basic needs, like opening a joint bank account, they stopped short of granting legal recognition to same-sex unions. Instead, the court accepted the government's offer to set up a special panel that will explore granting social and legal benefits to same-sex couples. Homosexuality has long carried a stigma in India’s traditional society, even though there has been a shift in attitudes toward same-sex couples in recent years. India now has openly gay celebrities and some high-profile Bollywood films have dealt with gay issues. According to a Pew survey, acceptance of homosexuality in India increased by 22 percentage points to 37% between 2013 and 2019.But same-sex couples often face harassment in many Indian communities, whether Hindu, Muslim or Christian.India is estimated to have at least 2.5 million LGBTQ+ people, according to government figures from 2012. However, gay rights activists and global estimates believe they number at least 10% of the population, or more than 135 million.In May, Taiwan became the first jurisdiction in Asia to recognize same-sex marriages. In July, Nepal's Supreme Court issued an interim order enabling the registration of same-sex marriages for the first time. It is still not clear when the court would make its final decision on the case.。
今晚北京德比会进行G4的比赛,不过目前双方的伤病情况还是存在,还比较复杂。

B | 其中对于曾凡博来说,他的情况比之前几天好了很多,许利民表示他会上场。但如果比赛没什么悬念,曾凡博会继续休息。按照过去三场,估计还是会非常胶着。
只是在中午踩场训练的时候,曾凡博的脚踝和肩部都有冰袋,还非常厚,这也证明他的伤病依然存在。

C | 或许曾凡博出战的欲望非常强,许利民也会为了球队的胜利,看看今晚的战况会怎么样吧。
至于周琦,他和上场比赛还是前往看医院进行检查,同时他需要更多医学评估与检查,而且每场赛前才知道他能不能打。

D | 按照现在的情况,周琦还是多休息吧。如果继续打G4,他又要出现复发。再加上范子铭的状态回暖,能多休息就多休息,还是健康更为重要。
北控这边的情况还是比较麻烦。

E | 特别是对于邹雨宸来说,他在上场比赛受伤,走路都是一瘸一拐的。同时根据昨天的动态,邹雨宸还有多个专家会诊,他今晚不会出战,毕竟走路都不正常了。
刘晓宇目前的情况还不是很好,他戴着护腰先踩踩场,尝试恢复竞技状态。只是腰部受伤,再坚持上场,到时他的状态也很难保证,特别是他都无法发力。一旦刘晓宇缺席,北控后场的防守会显得非常吃力。
廖三宁目前的情况变好,只是还无法恢复到百分百的状态。上场比赛廖三宁是吃止痛药上场,不知道这场比赛会不会继续。
也就是说,现在廖三宁与曾凡博都能打,但刘晓宇、邹雨宸与周琦的伤势还是比较严重,今晚出战难度很大。
