It's a positive step. I think the decision made by the HC is timely. It's a matter of preference and the government has to ensure that there is no room for discrimination. has it been well-accepted over there? what's the public reaction like?
Word.
Mixed reaction. All the Gay rights activists and NGO's literally rallied for this. They're the ones celebrating. On the other hand, Few people seem to be having problems with the decision. Baba Ramdev seems to think that homosexuality is a 'curable' disease.
SC has issued a notice to the High court on a petition challenging Delhi HC judgement decriminalizing homosexuality. They're expected to reply by July 20.
I think the dust is yet to settle down, It is a controversial step, It will take some time to be completely accepted by people.
