Approach the bench, Counselor! Clarify your last sentenceBy: Hary Nambiar | Friday , 3 Jul '09 23:59:33 PM Reply | Forward I agree with the learned Supreme Court lawyer and the eminent scholar, Chanakya. There is nothing new in this judgment. It will have serious repercussions on the behavior of confused young people, who may think that this is another way to emulate western culture. I can not wait to watch those bolywood movies in which there will be mail looking and female looking heroes, heroines, villains, etc concealing their natural identity. There will be need for a series of amendments to existing laws. God will have to undergo a protracted process to get the approval of the Indian Bar Council to enter the Supreme Court, despite the fact that the learned Court might be anxious to hear HER!

lets give it a passBy: radhika vyas | Friday , 3 Jul '09 23:58:14 PM Reply | Forward Say, if u decriminalize a certain profession, wouldn't mean that all people would take up that profession thereon. People do what they have to do and have been doing so far. Decriminalizing this particular thing is step towards EVOLUTION OF SOCIETY, it didn't sit well with me...but i know that its the right thing to happen.Pretty much like so many things you so wish don't happen, but its in the greater good...so u keep mum. We think its unnatural but may be its natural and only rare...after all nature's creating such people who feel a certain way. There can be 1000 ways of looking at one thing, all of them could be right...infinite dimensional world it is.

restrict this stupid publicityBy: tharakshi | Friday , 3 Jul '09 23:29:24 PM Reply | Forward this news on the gay's pride has made the culture of indian to its top to the bottom..I respect every creatures feelings but when certain things which is against the nature should not be implemented to socialise it. Till now the generations are not aware and is least concerned about such things, After getting it socialised just imagine,, we cannot just fit in the public places where this is publicised,,I am happy that the gay's right are been given to them,,, but OUR VERY GOOD FRIEND MEDIA...PLEASE DO NOT PUBLICISE AND VIRUS THE MIND OF THE YOUNG GENERATION.....So i hope the government will look into the future of the country and our countrymen welfare.

Its bad for our societyBy: Sukumar,Advocate,Supreme Court of India | Friday , 3 Jul '09 21:48:46 PM Reply | Forward I am still shocked and surprised to see the huge publicity given by the media about this HC judgement.As an advocate what i understood from this judgement that honourable court has said nothing new and only repeated and interpretated what sec 377 means.If some has no problem and wants to practice gay with his consenting partner provided it should not be at public place than police will not interfare in it.I think it was the same situation prior to this judgement as well.The things which are fundamentally wrong can not be made right even by the apex courts.The things which are unnatural will remain unnatural.regards(sukumar)9871090724

homosexualityBy: sanjoy kumar satpathy | Friday , 3 Jul '09 21:43:59 PM Reply | Forward There are so many important issues pending in the high court for years, how come our gay friendly judges pick this up as a fast track verdict?

GaysBy: Tara Chand | Friday , 3 Jul '09 21:29:52 PM Reply | Forward Gays must be loved and respected as they have a problem. Let us not allow Western filth to penetrate our media. The West is pushing their shallow civilization on us. Let us not be hard on the Gays but let us not accept this abnormal lifestyle by encouraging it. Indians are tolerant but not stupid.

377 is a blotBy: Amit | Friday , 3 Jul '09 21:24:27 PM Reply | Forward Section 377 must be repealed pronto. It is an embarrassment to the country and proves us to be primitive, unscientific, bigoted people.

What is on the mind ??By: chanakya | Friday , 3 Jul '09 19:51:30 PM Reply | Forward Delhi High Court for reasons known to it self, always wanted to be in lime light for various controversial cases. How they can ignore the huge pile up cases which are crying for justice since ages and how they have become so active to deliver this controversial judgement which benefits handful people.Right now, the government is more worried about the effect this judgemnt will have on their trusted vote bank. Govt is least bothered about the teen agers who innocently followed those groups after the judgement. Govt is least bothered how it is going to affect the schools and colleges here after. I am sure Govt will contest this judgement in supreme court ang get stayed for ever.

We must not bow down to religious fanaticsBy: jay | Friday , 3 Jul '09 19:49:51 PM Reply | Forward Our politicians have unique capability to bring the country backward by bowing down to the pressure to religious fundamentalists. I hope this time they will rise above the narrow political interests. In reality appeasement of any section on basis of religion or caste hardly translate into political gain in the long run. Fate of caste based political parties, religion based propaganda in recently concluded election is an indication. Legalization of gay sex is a milestone for India and I hope it will be upheld and implemented all over the country.
