HOMOSEXUALITY VS GOVT

Last week was day of celebration for some and for other’s day of protest. I am talking about recent HC judgment on decriminalizing homosexuality between adult consenting partners. This issue has raised many questions but I’ll limit it to two main issues in my blog. .

1. DO WE REALLY NEED SECTION 377 TO CHANGE: - I guess yes as my right to freedom gives me the authority to choose my partner. Also in all circumstances our constitution is supreme and no law can replace it so section 377 which punishes gay couples needs to be strike out or modified. Well let’s not involve ourselves into legality of how and when this will be done.

But by changing a law will change the mindset of society? Will it change their attitude? or Will it change the attitude of family towards gay couple? It still considered as a disease. Still we need to go miles and it’ll take years to change the mindset of people, family and society at large.

Accept it or not homosexuality exists in India from ancient time. People were hesitant to accept the fact that they feel attracted towards the same sex. Now its possible that they come out in public and accept it.

In any case HC decision is a welcome change.

2. WHAT PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE: - Presuming Gay Marriages are allowed and not punishable in years to come in India. Then what purpose will it serve? Will they ever be able to live a normal life with kids and family around? I guess not, ultimately one partner has to change their sex to have kids or to adopt someone.
Okay I agree that marriage doesn’t mean sex and children alone but one wants more from marriage than sex & children like understanding, security, long live relations, companionship and more. Still gay marriages are something unnatural, I mean we are made in a way to complement our opposite sex and allowing marriages in same sex is not only against law of nature but will create imbalance too.


To sum up one should do things which keeps them happy and satisfies their needs and give them freedom without hurting the sentiments of others especially family. I feel one should enjoy the life without thinking whether they are homosexual or heterosexual. All what matter is that you are happy with your partner jus
