Gay sex now legal in India

''The inclusiveness that Indian society traditionally displayed, literally in every aspect of life, is manifest in recognizing a role in society for everyone.... Those perceived by the majority as 'deviants' or 'different' are not on that score excluded or ostracized.''

Portion of a ruling from the Dehli High Court which has effectively ruled that homosexuality should be decriminalized in India because parts of Section 377 was unconstitutional as it pertained to equality, discrimination, and protection of life and personal liberty. (New York Times)


''We've finally entered the 21st century.''

Anjali Gopalan of the Naz Foundation, the GLBT group that petitioned the Court 8 years ago to overturn Section 377. (Associated Press)
