Supreme court can say what they think on legal basis but they cannot stop people from doing what they do within the four walls of their homes. No, I am not a gay but would not want to interfere in people's personal matters, as long as they are not playing with a child or someone against their will.j

Matters that happen in privacy or within the confines of a home are purely personal. Closed room gambling is going unabated. The law should interfere only when such matters are done in public which is likely to damage the societal values and influence the members of the society.

This is right. That is why Section 377 of The I.P.C. needs be deleted. This is su8perflous. When anything goes between consenting individuals, there will be no complaint and hence no interference by law. But Supreme Court has merely ruled that this section is constitutional. It is for parliament to amend I.P.C..

The Indian Penal Code was originally drafted during the British era and while we were being ruled by them so most of the rules made were obviously to more benefit to the British than to Indians! Even after more than 6 decades of independence, the same old code is being used, isn't it time now to amend them to really reflect OUR society's needs and stipulations? I am deviating a little form the topic, but several tribes that were declared as being criminals by law by the British are still registered as criminals! It is high time now to amend or delete all such laws including section 377!

Here I may state that it is no use saying that so and so law was framed by British. In fact, we got rule of law only after 1857 when Queen Victoria took over. Before that, there was no law- good or bad. There is no doubt that Section 377 of IPC is introduced on moral grounds. There was no question of so called gay rights then. Even now, homosexuality must be considered as a deviation and is certainly bad enough. There is no such thing as gay rights. Being gay is a matter of shame and not respect. However, there is still no need for section 377 of IPC as state must not interfere what people do in private with consent. Hence, parliament should delete the provision from IPC.

Supreme court has been at the receiving end for the US and other foreign nationals as well regarding the judgment ...Now that the congress party has taken up the issue it might come up for debate.But I wonder how long this enthusiasm will last? SP is openly against it and BJP is the fence sitter since it doesnt want to spoil its poll prospects :dry:

Honorable SC opposes rule and advised govt. to frame the rule, so in a way court has seen that existing laws are treating gay sex as not legal, and advised govt to frame new law under article 377, Sonia Gandhi supports framing rules, and many members of congress party are out in news channels expressing their open support to frame rules in support of gay sex :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

No surprises there since Congress is now bending backwards and sideways to give itself a new image in the eyes of the youth ...They want to project themselves as a forward thinking party lol...anyway, it will be good if Sonia and party support the scrapping or modification of article 377 !

Congress is trying to renovate itself to show they are positive towards young mass, it seems by supporting gay rights all young people will attract towards them, still they are not able to understand, it is not the quoting on media they will be getting votes, they have to go to grass roots and connect with masses.

BJP is playing to the gallery since elections are round the corner and we all know that vast majority of the Indian population would be against Homosexuality ! Political parties see what suits them best and take that stand and BJP is no better !
