Legalising Homosexuality means promoting it which will definitely have a bad impact on the society.

People People, why talk about the laws of nature when it comes to homosexuality while we have manipulated those laws when it came to using medicines, travel, utilities and many other things. We do anything we want when it is universally accepted, but when it becomes a little congested, we talk about either nature or heritage or tradition or health or law or the adverse effect of the thing on the next generations.

Homosexuality, this word was a little cramped until the last couple of days, now we are talking about it quite comfortably. This is what a lift on the ban can do to us. There is a very small part of our population that is homosexual and we now 'know' the exist. We knew they existed but we never talked about it, we never might have wanted to.


I agree to what many of my fellow-thinkers said here, Homosexuality is not western, only the word is. There are scriptures that depict homosexuality, we dont have to say we're following western trend atleast when it comes to this.


Health ???
When WHO and UNICEF statistics show AIDS spreads more in heterosexuals than in homosexuals, the reason (when it comes to sex) being UNSAFE sex, how can we choose to be ignorant and still force the same old thought on our minds and others' that homosexuality is the main cause for the spread of AIDS ?


Someone here said it would adversely affect the younger/next generations. Heterosexuality does not have a ban, so how often do we talk to our young ones about it ?
We dont impart sexual education (and as another friend here said, psychological education) at school level, it needs to be done. People DONT talk about heterosexual acts with their kids as a part of sex-ed, but when it comes to lifting a ban on homosexuality, they type on forums as if they engage sex-ed classes, or counseling sessions with their children for an hour everyday, Lol !

Heritage, Nature, Law, Blah-Blah-Blah.
It is about freedom, mental as well as physical.
As long as it is consentual, it is right.

There are some laws made by nature and i think humans should not try to disturb them. Every person has a right to live life the way
he wants, but why do you forget that man is a social animal and cant survive without society. What teachings are we giving to our children? To simply do what they desire and to overlook the very purpose of human existence? If homosexuality is legalized it may have a negative impact on the very values of our country we cherish. We should think first about our family, our children, our society, our nation and stop being so very self centered. Please to try to change what god has made. Respect the purpose for what you are sent on earth. Respect laws of nature if you want to exist!!!

It is a welcome decision from the Delhi HC. It is the right of an individual to chose what he wants in his life - from his sexual orientation to his choice of career. Whatever choice an individual makes should be his own and there should not be any need to restrict himself because of an arachic law, or what society dictates or thinks is acceptable. Further more, if a person cannot make his own choice with respect to his own life, then what is the point of saying we live in a free nation or society. We cannot keep mixing up religion and morality when it is convenient to us. Further more, if we try to rationalise everything we do on the basis of what our religious texts say, then we would realise that most of us hardly follow what our religions preach.

Section 377 of Indian Panel Code which criminalizes homosexuality has been come to our system in the Year 1860 by Victorian English Law curtsy Lord Macaulay!!!! Can a law or any law/system which is exactly 150 years old can be or should be relevant is Million Dollar question??? The problem with our nation is whatever Britisher has given or imposed on us is still valid and revered by our ruling elite to the core of their heart!!!! I am not defending or criticizing gay or lesbian relationship. First of all we expect from Mr. Moily to go to the detail of all these law which we are pursuing since Stone Age. We need all the irrelevant law should and must be changed, altered or obliterated. Moily is a person who has penchant for good governance. Whilst he was Minister of Higher Education in Karnataka he was replying himself the personal letter wrote by student!!!

Laws can’t stop or deter any one to pursue one’s preference. Can our stringent law stopped or prevented the abortion??? No not exactly. I think it’s rampant abortion pursued by our society, caused enormous damage to the society and universe as a whole. It has changed and of course changing the male-female ratio in a very alarming way. Our myth and social structure/stigma is forcing to abort the girl child and thus reducing the female population drastically. This change of dynamic has become the cause of many ills of society including Rape, molestation and unnatural acts. It’s society upheaval.

Now come to Homosexuality………….It has been proved scientifically that Homosexuality is caused by gene Y29, and the brain size of gay is relatively bigger than heterosexual counterpart. So this is not a perversion of his/her mind issue alone??? There is many a myth that Homosexual is spreading AIDS while it’s act of heterosexual and change of partner and their unsafe sex is the real cause of spreading AIDS. It’s lack of education and social taboo, myth which is damaging in real sense. What’s required from our government is to abolish those laws which criminalize homosexuality with punitive punishment. It should not be other way round that Government is legalizing and promoting Homosexuality. Actually there should be brothel, and if it’s banned completely then you will find it happens in our neighborhood or anywhere and everywhere unaccounted without any control. The whole universe is ruled and revolved on Supply and Demand theory. Government stopped Dance Bar in Bombay showing their moral guardianship but they have not given any alternative job to those girls for their livelihood. In other sense you are forcing to do illegal activity including prostitution or begging??? Now what other option government has given to those thousands of man who goes to have some easy entertainment???? Nothing or we don’t know. Still Dance Bar is going on in a very restricted way with handsome money to Police and upper echelon????? So any decision/law which has taken without proper thinking and without weighing it’s Pros & Cons, Cause and Effect can’t be guaranteed to be successful. There must be checks and balance but with holistic approach and not like Tuglaki Farman!!!!

Homosexuality seems to be largely an urban phenomenon and it is rather absent in rural areas. Again only a miniscule minority seem to be having same sex affinity. What is the percentage of gays? Take India - 1.3 billion. How may gays? Probably not even 0.01%. These people have to be treated. Their affiliation to same sex is more psychological/emotional and may be it happens if there is not much interaction with opposite sex at young age or due to some unpleasant experiences with opposite sex leading to revulsion. So this is to be treated humanely by having counselling centres or training shrinks and make their services available in towns and cities. This way a majority of gays can be brought back to "natural" state leaving a few diehard ones for whose sake it is not necessary to legalise gay relationships. By legalising homosexuality,you are only paving the way for increasing their numbers rather than reducing it.

I think homosexuality is not a crime, our constitution recognises people of India with power of freedom , speech , religion.... but if a person isawarded freedom in every sence why not following his/her own will to pratice homosexuality, it's personal choice you cannot bound a person for a darker life ahead where they are not happy and satisfied. They are matured individuals and they are free to access what is good and what is bad for them

Let us not change 377.

By copying westerners, Indian are slowly loosing their cultural heritage.

Let us not allow animal instincts to over rule natural human behaviour.

it will only help the perverts lurking orphanage, hostel prison and other places. Homosexuality is against the law of nature and those practicing it require counseling and psychiatric help rather legal sanctity for the heinous act. There is no need to take the society further downhill when age old moral values are getting ridiculed in the name of modernity. Those who still want to practice it can apply citizenship in the countries where it is legalized. Spare 'bharat bhoomi'.We have enough issues in our kitty to sort out.

I strongly feel there should not be any change in the present law. This is an evil and against all cannons of decency. It is also against the natural law. If legalised it will demoralise the intitution of marriage as it is a solemn relationship with man and woman. Such a relationship alone is real and rational.Hence the Government should not try to change a law which is logical and realistic and in confirmity with the Indian ethos.
