Emakku 494 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-45429664 In a historic decision, India's Supreme Court has ruled that gay sex is no longer a criminal offence. The ruling overturns a 2013 judgement that upheld a colonial-era law, known as section 377, under which gay sex is categorised as an "unnatural offence". The court has now ruled discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a fundamental violation of rights. Campaigners outside the court cheered and some broke down in tears as the ruling was handed down. Although public opinion in India's biggest cities has been in favour of scrapping the law, there remains strong opposition among religious groups and in conservative rural communities.

ARTBOP 7,457 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Bravo, India! Moving in the right direction. This reminded me actually of this clip from Drag Race. Funny, but at the same time, kinda strange how real in this context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
