Come home to the Change. Milking 377.

It read:

Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature, with any man, woman or animal shall be punishable with imprisonment for life or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years and shall also be liable to fine.

IPC 377 hitherto criminalized any penetrative sex that did not lead to reproduction thereby criminalizing sexual expression by homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals. It formed the very basis for the widespread stigma, discrimination, marginalization and prejudice against sexuality minorities in our society. Voices against 377 and Naz Foundation, the two organizations that had filed the public interest litigation to repeal the law, now emerge as the harbingers of positive change amongst a people which is plagued by ignorance under the garb of culture and the order of Nature. We should commend this victory for freedom, dignity, respect and the affirmation of rights of all individuals irrespective of their sexual preferences.

Tenets of the holy Bible, the institution of marriage, ethics of the society, family structures and the Law of Nature cannot and are not, above the fundamental rights and liberties of any individual. Religious caretakers and fundamental fanatics cannot justify the paradox of liberating a straight society of a sinister movement like this, by suppressing and denying basic civil rights to a group. A gay isn't essentially one who prefers to wear high heels when he is out on a date, but that doesn't and shouldn't compel him to accept insecurity, fear, prejudice and submission without revolt.

Its time we shed the scales of ignorance and try believing truth for a change. The LGBT individuals are children of normal heterosexual couples, raised in a heterosexual environment and influenced by a majorly heterosexual society. If you say the law of GOD is that two men cant reproduce, it is GOD alone who knows best that they still keep trying! If you say granting homosexuals their civil rights would lead to child abuse in schools and workplaces, think carefully what is rife today.

The lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgenders are neither sick, nor are they wrong. They deserve as much, as you or I do. They pay taxes for protection, not persecution. They desire affection, love and commitment, probably with different means and ends. What has happened, is the vindication of the real law of whatever there is called God, which cant be anything different, than shunning bigotry and sharing a hope to realize a vision for a better and more tolerant tomorrow.
