HOMOSEXUALITY DECRIMINALIZED IN INDIA

I still have an hard time knowing that being who I am will make me a criminal in some countries.

But today our friends from India can celebrate since a court in the Indian capital, Delhi, has ruled that homosexual intercourse between consenting adults is not a criminal act [source]

The ruling overturns a 148-year-old colonial law which describes a same-sex relationship as an "unnatural offence". Homosexual acts were punishable by a 10-year prison sentence.

Delhi's High Court ruled that the law outlawing homosexual acts was discriminatory and a "violation of fundamental rights". The court said that a statute in Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which defines homosexual acts as "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" and made them illegal, was an "antithesis of the right to equality".
