This is legal and there is a ruling in its favor. I am not aware if this rule has been quashed so far. So how come any one is issuing any such statements?

Indian Penal code contains provisions against homosexuality. Delhi High court had ruled that homosexual relations between consenting individuals should not be punished. The Delhi High Court had only made the conduct non punishable and never ruled that this is not immoral. Everything that is immoral is not punishable.

Center has not taken proper stand in this matter. All have individual liberty to any type of conduct that is consensual and not coercive. This has nothing to do with morality issue, which is different.

Kindly see the article on this issue:

This is all about how one acts within the privacy of his/her four walls. As long as this is not indecent and in public places against the will and with consent of both the parties, there is nothing wrong. I am least bothered how one reacts, I am not a party any way.

i don't know what court said but this should not be punishable at all as any sexual deed which is done with the consent of partners but not publically done shouldn't be a punishable thing. :)

This is the personal issue and no need to interfere in such things unless it is disturbing or harming anyone.

Yes you are right.

Many agencies are working to prevent gay sex due to its health hazards in society.Making it lawful will be dangerous.

Nobody is going to make gay sex lawful or moral. The High court Delhi only ruled that there should be no punishment for this.

The changing stand of government on decriminalization of gay sex arises from implication of Delhi High court judgment. There is no issue of morality. The court never said that this is moral. The issue is whether gay sex should be punished. This is a personal matter between consenting adults. Moral or immoral, no coercion against any one is involved. Hence this should not be punishable. That is what Delhi High Court ruled. The correct stand is that gay sex is not socially acceptable and not considered immoral but this is between consenting adults and hence not punishable. There are many other bad things that are not punished. Even kiss and embrace between unmarried couple is improper. But there is no punishment for this.

Supreme Court has rightly pulled up Union government for changing stand in the issue.

It's only my personal opinion.
According to Indian constitution, any person above 18 years has the right to choose life partner.
We normal people are thinking and seeing things only through our eyes. That's the problem.
Gay people can't live happy if they choose persons of opposite sex. It will only end in disaster. I read one or two articles, seen one feature in TV also, which made me think, "We should understand them also. If they feel attraction to people only of his/her sex, it is not their fault. Its because they have certain defects in them and we people should understand them."
So, I personally believe there is no wrong in guy marriages. :)
