Supreme court pronounces Gay Sex as illegal...
in Current Affairs & Latest News
This is an issue that was being debated since almost a decade and earlier Delhi high court had struck down section 377 saying that it restricts individuals freedom. But now this judgent is a huge setback for the gay community of India.
The supreme court has put the onus on parliament to decide whether they want to water down section 377...
{Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code is a piece of legislation in India introduced during British rule of India that criminalises sexual activity "against the order of nature." The section was read down to decriminalise same-sex behaviour among consenting adults in a historic judgement by the High Court of Delhi on 2 July 2009. Section 377 continues to apply in the case of sex involving minors and coercive sex.}

    Supreme Court is right in the sense that it is not job of courts to make or change law. But I feel that the law criminalizing same sex - gay or lesbian- should be amended by parliament. Any type of sexc is a personal matter between consenting adults. Any sexual act- straight or gay- with any non consenting person is sexual assualt. punishable by law.

    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

    This is not at all fair. By passing such a judgement, what they are effectively saying is that gays and lesbians are criminals, a gross injustice! Such people form a significant part of our total population and contribute towards economy and society as well as or even better than other elements. So isolating them out in such a manner is inhuman. Also, why should anyone's private sec preference be a problem for others, is beyond my understanding! :blink:

    Supreme Court has merely refused to change the existing law. Let parliament amend law if this is discriminatory.

    parliaments don't decide how a man or woman go around in their dreams.

    Sir Gay and lesbian sex is criminal offence in Indian Penal Code. If you say that this is bad law, who do you think should change this. Only parliament can do. I hope this is clear.

    no, I am not going to legal aspect of a law but human tendency. If human is born that way, no law is going to stop them. By the way, how much is penalty if someone caught with the act, or are they going to depute a police officer in every bedroom?

    The funny part is here is that section 377 was introduced by the British during their rule here and we still hold on to that while UK itself has legalised gay rights...I feel that we need to look into our age old laws from time to time and upgrade it to suit the needs of the society and thats what the Delhi high court had done earlier...
    Now at least until the parliament does something the police and the religious hardliners will have a field day targetting Gay bars and gay organisations....I could already see it in the manner in which a couple of them spoke on the debate today !

    It is a good verdict, unnatural sex cannot be termed as marriage, it is impossible, SC have given permission them to live as they wish but to be termed as marriage, then it will simply break the basic value system of marriage as tradition, we are not west even there many are not supporting,
