Received a call from a friend in evening who is in Vellore now for studies.
"Sweetheart,I'm a Criminal now."
Today Supreme Court called back the Section 377 and Criminalized the act of Homosexual Sex.In a blow to gay rights in India, the Supreme Court overturned a high court verdict that had set aside a law framed in 1860 and decriminalized consensual sex among adult homosexual men.
The point is what is Illegal about Love dude?.How can law decide with whom I want to sleep with?.Where is the freedom of my own sexual orientation?.What is wrong with Law?.
Milind deora in his interview on NDTV 24/7 rightfully said that nobody should regulate someone's sexual preferences and what happens inside their homes.Globally, countries that believe in social liberties and freedom of expressions are decriminalizing homosexuality.
Ofcourse,he got a point.What British overthrew 30 years ago,India is still holding it so tightly under the wraps of ancient culture and religion.
It is quite absurd is when people connect a person's sexual orientation with religion.Now what religion got to do with this?.In any religion,a foremost element says to love one another or 'Love thy neighbour'.Well,it doesn't say to rape the opposite sex or beat your wife.It's better to be in love with the same sex than be in hatred with the opposite sex.
People who think it as a 'mental problem' then they surely need to educate themselves first.It's over 25 years that medical sciences had proven that 'same-sex' love is not a disease.If it is so then every left-handed person should be criminalized because they eat with their left hand.
The SC judgement is actually a disgrace and surely need to be re-addressed.Indians who were not criminals yesterday but are criminals today?.It is a great day for prejudice.But today the law has lost, but love will prevail.If my Gay-friend do not have problem with straight people like me then how the hell I would have any problem with him.If you don't like Gay/lesbians,do not be one but one got no right to fit law into anybody's private lives.Stop War not Love!.Loving a same-sex person is NOT a crime darling.
As my friend said
"I wasn't a criminal yesterday but I'm certainly a criminal today and I do not propose to take the permission of their lordships on who to love or who to make love with."
"...Some men like Jack and some like Jill
I’m glad I like them both but still
I wonder if this freewheeling
Really is an enlightened thing,
Or is its greater scope a sign
Of deviance from some party line?
In the strict ranks of Gay and Straight
What is my status: Stray? Or Great? ..." ~ Vikram Seth (Dubious)
