Topic owner: Vipin Goyal: I see a very nice discussion going on this community and i would like to add some points here.
My views are having such an outdated and unjust law is a proof that our judiciary system is flawed. Its very commendable to see people standing up to this cause. The parade in delhi can be compared to Stonewall uprising of US.
My point is that its just a matter of time when section 377 will be taught in history books only as the foundation bricks to repeal this law has been laid. Even if Veerappa Moily and his team doesnot come out with a positive solution this time it would be there in a near future. The reason for this is whenever this kind of change of mindset has been confronted by the society, it takes some time to do away with the taboos before it finally accept the change.
In hindu society we used to have a custom of Sati pratha which was again an unjust custom. At that time if anyone would have asked 100 people about the custom, atleast 50 of them would have spoken in favour of it, but today you wont find anyone who would support such an inhumane custom. Its because people have come out of that kind of customary and tradititonal thinking. Same is the case with LGBT rights. Its just a matter of time that society leave its morality issue aside and start thinking laterally in this direction.

I hope ur words wud b true vipin. But u know i'm afraid of getting this issue politicized, becoz once a matter is stuck in political mess, it takes ages to get any positive result, look at the women reservation bill, they r simply dragging it on and on. If any party supports this matter , all opposing parties will blindly oppose it, and then there is religion and religious fanatics wilk always oppose it.
