Despite broad worldwide gains for gay rights, homosexuality remains criminalized in many countries.
But Bollywood Hottie Veena Malik took initiative to support homosexuality. She did a photo shoot in patronage of LGBT Community.
“No error in decriminalization of gay sex”, the Centre told Supreme Court by conveying that the High Court verdict was correct.
Finally Centre who had opposed the verdict of High Court ruled “sex between two consenting adults of the same sex in private would not be an offence” has ceased to treat gay sex as illegal.
The apex court had asked Centre to take stand on homosexuality as the govt. had changed it one by one for being highly claimed gay sex to be “immoral” and “against the social order”.
Indian govt. still confused to take a clear stand on “homosexuality”, hesitating to represent its arguments before the Supreme Court on Thursday.
The Supreme Court ire while Additional Solicitor-General PP Malhotra first told the court that same-sex relations were “highly immoral and against societal order,” only to have the government clarify later.
A strong criticism of the government for its failure to clarify its position on the 2009 Delhi high court (HC) verdict decriminalizing homosexuality is the main reason behind its volte-face and said it had not taken a stand on the issue.
The anti-gay rights activists and political, social and religious organizations has filed petition against govt.
On Thursday, A bench of justices GS Singhvi and SJ Mukhopadhaya was hearing petition of those who have opposed the HC verdict.
