Being gay is not a crime in india
Article 377 is about "unnatural sex" which includes paedophilia,necrophilia , BJ , anal etc even with hetrosexual couple

Ok then how exactly will a gay couple have intercourse? Sorry, but this by default takes away the basic right of a couple to even have sex. Like I said, forget about legalising gay marriage right now. Like someone else rightly mentioned here that there is an air of homophobia in India but but but also many youth are becoming increasingly aware, accepting and even open about LGBT rights. Change needs to happen in people's attitudes first.

infact nepal is one of the most progressive nations when it comes to same sex marriage

It is, considering same sex relationships ( not just marriage) are illegal in so many countries

And sodomy is illegal in 12 states in USA

New research published by the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) serves as a stark reminder of just how widespread such criminalisation can be. In a total of 74 countries, same-sex sexual contact is a criminal offence.

In 13 countries, being gay or bisexual is punishable by death. These are; Sudan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Mauritania, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar, UAE, parts of Nigeria, parts of Somalia

In 17 countries, bans are in place to prohibit 'propaganda' interpreted as promoting LGBT communities or identities. These are; Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, Somalia, Tunisia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lithuania and Russia.
