Of Note, this is my opinion of how it should have been done. In a perfect world run by me. However, I accept my viewpoint is not universal and would not implement this in a society where the majority felt otherwise.

...Wow.


Much wow.
Your nation is like a son. What it does right is your merit, as well as what it does wrong is your fault. When you praise it, be lucid and avoid exaggeration. Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.

Well, apparently, India just got their own version of the Legal Time Machine implemented. Though, seeing the pictures of Indian traffic, I don't see how they got it to 88mph.

That is pretty offensive to people that follow that lifestyle. Including me


That "lifestyle" should stay in the porn sites.

Gays keep on pushing their stuff so much that it is no wonder that people are starting to have enough. No one wants their children to be forced to watch that, while trying to live normal life.

Now go back to the '60s, replace "Gays" with "niggers" and it won't look out of place at all.

Do explain why being attracted to a person of the same as you isn't normal. Do not use any religious reference, please.

Also, why can hetero people display affection in public and gay people can't? It isn't any less "pornographic".

Going by his words, we should ban any lifestyles because it is porn.

Christ on a cracker, shit's getting serious in the eastern hemisphere. Would it kill the shithuffing degenerates currently in government over yonder to not be such bigoted fuckwads for once? China, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, and now India: you know there's a problem with the world when six of the ten most populated countries have criminalized the human rights of an entire group of people for no particular reason.

Indian law hasn't changed. The legislature (government) hasn't criminalized homosexuality.

In 2009 the Delhi High Court found that Section 377 conflicted with Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution (specifcally privacy and equality). Those being essentially a "bill of rights" they're stronger than a common law. Pretty much everyone took that as the end of Section 377.

Unfortunately, the Delhi High Court doesn't have the final say on that. The Attorney General initially supported 377 but in the end chose not to appeal the Delhi High Court's ruling. The Supreme Court granted standing instead to citizen interest groups like the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board and the Apostolic Churches Alliance, heard arguments, but in March of last year reserved its ruling.

The Supreme Court could have ruled back in March of last year. That it delayed until now, closer to the general election and on the last day of justice Singhvi's office, is the only questionable part of proceedings.

Bestiality, homosexualism and incest between adult people all happen. It is still not something that normal people do or wishes that their kids would ever end up doing. You don't need any religion to see that those are all decadent things to do and not wanted in society.

Those lifestyles should not be promoted at all. And Russia did the right thing when they banned gay propaganda.
