    Default Historical Verdict by Delhi Court

    Delhi court legalized the homosexuality.This is one of the historical verdict by Delhi court under the IPC 377.Although few political party and religious leader not happy with this decision and may be few part of society will also not support such decision.

    So question is without support of society implementation of such law can by practically possible ?

    So true. Even inter-caste marriage is still unacceptable to a
    large number of Indians.

    Why was this illegal in the first place?

    It takes years and years for the Indian people to get with it.

    Verdict is the one big step towards making the homosexuality legal. Now since it's no longer a crime (at least legally) social acceptance will definitely follow. It's just a matter of time when our own panditji utters "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry".

    I don't think inter-caste marriage was ever illegal. It was just socially unacceptable.
    Correct me if I am wrong.

    Copying good things from others is not a bad idea at all. It's called refinement.
    We humans have become civilized by continual refinement only.
    Don't you agree that?
    So if the Indian policymaker realized that gays are humans too and gave them their due rights, is it really a matter to crib, no matter whether we copied the policy from US or from "YOU".

    I think by "angry mobs" you mean fanatics. Well would you really like to take a bunch of fanatics into consideration while making a policy??
    I hope not!!!
    So just salute for the brave step that India took yesterday.

    PS: please read gays as homosexuals.

    oops i was to make this thread .....got a msg yest noon .....but got busy teasing some frens around n forgot....nevertheless.....

    I would say its a verdict which atleast finally made some one happy ...... theres nothing wrong in it......

    I was reading the newspaper AM today morning n they had got some views from Hindu Pandits & Astrologers, Muslim LEaders & Christian Fathers from some churches ......n i was like whr does it harm them tht thy r opposing this.....

    Infact in a way if we see....there might b some benefits too....specially in our country ....whr population is a problem.....we cannot force any individual to live a life whre he does not belong.....

    Sexual Orientation is ofcourse as per an individual.....be it normal, gay, bisexual.....n so on.......

    I support the decision....!
    Dont count wat u lost, cherish wat u ve & plan wat to gain...coz past neva returns but future may return the lost! Think-Decide-Act!!!!

    A 'refinement' in an unrefined community is a bad idea....

    I think that's good decision, Logo ko jo karna hota hai woh karte hai so why not legalise that when it's not creating any harm...

    We're having a healthy debate here. What more proof do you need?

    This will take a long time in India to be generalized. Here still people talk rubbish if they see a girl and a boy together and now if this is generalized its over.. no nightouts even for boys

    Ma'am, we represent just a small, and by small i mean an extremely tiny fraction of the general society. Thats the problem. Yes we are having a healthy debate here, no doubt about that, but things are gonna turn ugly, mark my words. That is the true face of the Indian society. We have ugly scenes even for petty issues like a nightclub...So i don't think that the gay community would be safe no matter what the judgement of the court is.
    DON'T beam me up, Scotty!

    Now this is a good topic for debate.

    Personally I have nothing against homosexuallity. But I do think that it is not natural - nature did not desire same genders to have sex.

    But note that the Delhi Court ruling applies to Delhi jurisdiction only - not all over India.

    I have mixed reactions on this issue. I am not totally in favour of the verdict. Many adverse effects in the society will follow in future.

    As said before, its just a verdict, not sure, how many years will take them to stay in the society respectfully. I don't think Indians are ready for it. But in my personal opinion they are no different, I am happy with it. I mean, all humans should be treated equally, one should not be left alone just because he/she have different sex choice than us.

    The poll is asking whether "Indian society is ready" and not whether "verdict is correct". In my opinion the answer to former question is "No", to the second "yes".

    exactly the same answer from me also.
    I have asked such question because I think
    If judiciary system and society think same way then implementation of any new law can be easy otherwise 'practically' such type of law did not get much effect because every law is apparently applied in society.

    With Due respect to ES, I have just created a thread Are you happy with the verdict (Are you happy with the verdict?), to know your opinion. Continue your discussion over here. My thread is just for poll to know whether you support or not.

    I am a yes on both. I support it and Indian society
    will accept it in the long run with some small
    pockets of resistance.
