    • The Indian Express Tags : sec 377, homosexuality Posted: Friday , Jul 03, 2009 at 0410 hrs

    This is why the court’s asides to the Central government are crucial. They cited the additional solicitor general’s submission that the courts refrain from encroaching on Parliament’s domain, and said that the judiciary is constituted as the “ultimate interpreter” of the Constitution. The judgment of the Delhi high court may not be the last word on the matter. But the government, whose ministers just last week retracted statements seen to be proactive on a re-look at Section 377, must read it for its enlightened constitutionalism.

    PERVERSITYBy: G YAGNESWARAN | 03-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward This kind of perverse behaviour has no place in a self respecting society. If the laws or be it Consititution even if indirectly promotes it, better amend the constitution. After all the laws of nature are far more forceful and enduring than the Constitution.
    Ignorance about homosexuality.By: B. S. Kumar | 03-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Most of the social stigmas attached to homosexuality are from ignorance. Even "educated" people in India have a hard time digesting the difference between their opinions and the truths they have to live by. Another person's sexuality is NONE of your business. That is the fundamental ruling of the Supreme Court. Just because you think homosexuality is a lack of development, doesn't make it so. Going by your own logic, it must be criminal then to be mentally retarded!!Learn to accept what you cannot control, and most of all, those of you who are gay bashers, know that you too could have been one of them. It isn't your "preference" that you are heterosexual. It is your orientation.More than anything, learn not to poke your nose into other people's affairs. The Supreme Court of India deserves kudos for clarity.
    Response By: SKSrivastava | 03-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward The High Court judgement indicates "freedom of choice" -those who want recreational sex or procreational function of sex with the emotional binding between the male and female principles. Homosexuality is not grenetic and is common during the transition phase of sexually undifferntiated response during childhood. It improves with intellectual develoment and emotional and family security and values.It needs to be identified and need counselling.Adopting a child has emotional and psychological connotations with long term consequences. It is a myth that man can provide what mother can do. Yes now with the judegment matrimonial columns should include "i am Gay" , "Only gay need to contact".
