The reason for my happiness has nothing to do with my orientations but the thought behind it & the maturity of the decision.
I don't understand why do we have this urge to control everything, even grown up adults. Are we of the opinion that a person who can run his own business, take care of his family, can become an international success, take many important decision yet need to be policed on some basic desires & wants? Law is a mechanism to keep things civilised and in order, but the extent of the same need to be defined by us.
The high court decision on merit needs to be applauded, damn the fanatics.
The day the decision was passed I chanced to see a panel discussion on TV regarding the decision. One of the panelist, a so called guru seemed perturbed by the court decision and said something to the effect that due to this decision, human race is in danger as all would want to be with a partner of same sex (as if one is getting some special favour or perk by doing so!) and was concerned on the future of the process of reproduction! This sounded so hilarious & it became the joke of the day for me.
My lawyer cousin had come home the other day and among many things we discussed this decision too. He explained the basic crux of Article 377 & I was taken aback by something he said.
As per the article 377 one could be booked in case he/she indulged in three kind of sex viz: Anal, Oral &/or with animal. Further, the it says that the complain can be lodged by third party too. This was a shocker. Physical intimacy is a very person thing & how can law allow & consider it ok for a third person to peep into someones private space! Shouldn't such complainant booked under trespassing!
Strange are the laws of the land!!!!!
In the mean time lets rejoice for this may be just the beginning for the law getting more human! A wish of an eternal optimist!!! :)

i was just reading bout a TV show in a chennai based channel where one gay activist and a counsellor had to hear the ugly remarks of a politician who is also a representative of the iyers' coalition! n the fact is that, he was the cheif guest for the screening of milk where he was all in support for homosexuality! its time that we wipe out these talibanistic forces and respect human rights..
ReplyDeleteI dont think the phenomenon ‘GAY’ is a disease. Its jus human!! They too are part of society!! We should atleast give respect to their feelings…
ReplyDeleteYou are right, I too doubt hw long they hav to struggle ther acceptance.Change is inevitable. Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown… I vote ‘Ayes’ for ths LAW!!
Cheers
