Article 377By: Raj | Friday , 17 Jul '09 8:26:53 AM Reply | Forward How does a thoughtful article like yours receive such idiotic and uninformed responses? Is this the average individual response?I do think it is interesting that CPM is the one party that has endorsed private choice socially. It shows how far we as Indians have to go in our acceptance of gay culture. We still think of them as freakish hijras, while in actuality, probably a full 10% of our population - good, decent married or single men and women are truly, ineffably, wired gay! When we can accept them - just the way we accept straight love, we can start believing that we as a culture practice what we preach - tolerance, acceptance and private choice.

Why not bring the Gun Laws of USA in India if you bring the sex laws?By: bashirulqadir | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 7:28:11 AM Reply | Forward Why not bring the Gun Laws of USA in India if you bring the sex laws? Many writers/authors/scholars who have commented on equality of sexes and have shown sympathy on the sexually weak gay and lesbians. To start with basically men and women are equal, bit by functions and mentality there are very many differences.The whole argument boils down to yielding to empty modernity and blind imitation of the Western culture. We think we advance and progress if our sex laws are similar to Western laws(1) Every day we read in the news about kidnapping, robbery, burglary, rape etc in cities. There are millions of people who hold jewellery and cash exceeding 5 lacs, why not follow the American law and allow these middleclass and the rich people who want to defend themselves to buy, hold and carry guns? This may reduce the crimes. Or Will it increase crimes? Same thing with loosening laws on sexual behaviour.Will it improve the moralaity in students' hostels or you give them more freedom to do..
