THIS IS SIN.By: George | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 19:42:27 PM Reply | Forward THERE IS ENOUGH CRIME IN ALL OVER THE WORLD. WHY ADD THIS ONE TOO? KNOW YOUR BIBLE.

Adam and Eve not Adam and SteveBy: Narendra Rawat | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 19:08:53 PM Reply | Forward God did not sanction homo behaviour. If he did, he would not have created Adam and Eve, he would have created Adam and Steve.

Would you know of steveBy: Gaurav | Friday , 3 Jul '09 2:07:14 AM Reply | Forward Even if there were indeed an Adam and Steve, you would now know about it, as only Adam and Eve could have descendants. Those who feel that this is unnatural, just use google and you will find that such behaviour and tendencies are universal and can be found in all species and well documented in various species like dogs, cats and birds as well. Or are all these acts sinful!

Gay-Sex/Homosexuality----By: romesh.sharma | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 18:34:15 PM Reply | Forward To my mind the constitution of India itself needs lot reforms/amendments,infact must be revised as per existing times bestowing true secularism keeping religous laws out.The only mention of equality forall,respect and tolerence for all and by all.Some readers are criticizing muslims and talking bull-shit about democracy which is foolish and wrong.One has to go for sensible reasoning considering not only the forces of the opposing argument but also the bias to which own mind is subject.Its duty of law-makers to cultivate better habits,healthy life and decent/disciplined characters and not legalizing what is obscene,ulcerously deletarious to the indivisual,the society and the Nation.Law has to enhance habits of life to improve moral and spiritual characters for a healthy society means a healthy nation.Purposefully legalising this vice/un-natural act is an act of provocation and infringement in religious codes.The Constitution has to respect all religious values what soever

Where does all this hate come from?By: Surprised, but glad | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 17:45:02 PM Reply | Forward It's amazing to read through the comments and come across so much intolerance and ignorance! I expected nothing less from the religious leaders - homophobia has long been one of the hallmarks of most religions - but the comments were surprising. Being homosexual is not always a matter of preference, and there has been documented evidence of homosexuality in nature - it's not against the natural order, in anyway. Anybody studying Indian history with even one eye open will come across plenty of thinly veiled references to prominent homosexual figures. I wonder where such deep-rooted homophobia originates - maybe the most homophobic people are in denial of their own instincts? Now there's a thought!But I laud the High Court's decision. It's long overdue, and it warms my heart to see such baseless prejudice being swept away, at least by the letter of the law.

Religious nonsenseBy: Sajith Panayil | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 17:30:27 PM Reply | Forward Approval from any religious leader unnecessary in this matter. India is a country that can afford all kind of culture. You religious idiots follow or not follow the judgement, it is legal! Stop barking.

Religion for people or people for religionBy: Kalyan Barua | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 17:10:14 PM Reply | Forward Lots of religious leaders are voicing against this historic judgment. In my opinion, religion should for people and people should be allowed to live the way they want to as long as they are not invading others space, way of living or comfort, It is paramount for a democracy to survive. These so called religious leaders have a very narrow way of looking at life. It is alright to me as long same is not forced on us.But they seem to poke their finger into every pie. My request to them is that please stop moral policing and start preaching healthy living. Make way of life the religion not the other way round and incorporate changes to accommodate today's living. Please do not always preach the knowledge gathered eons ago.I am not for homosexuality as I find it unscientific

Indian constitution is supreme and India is secular stateBy: Pattabhi Raman - Raman | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 16:57:33 PM Reply | Forward India is secular country. Leave the religious sentiments to individuals to follow or not follow. Many hindus do not follow their religious rituals, and you condem them, many others follow the religion of convinience, should we codem them. Let us not mix up religion with Indian constitution and the Law of the land. Court has said article 377 contradicts freedom of liberty and equality.If religious people want to follow as per their scriptures, please allow them to follow, but do not mix and create noise.

Homosexuality gets the HC approvalBy: Dr. Paras Deo | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 16:39:46 PM Reply | Forward Constitution of India is the only'religion' that must be followed in India. The rest must be limited to the 4 walls of private life.
