Recent verdict of Delhi High Court, which has almost legalised Gay sex in India, has actually faced lots of applause and threats from various quarters of society. Mostly, educated and high elite class of India has appreciated this judgement of High Court as land mark judgement in providing equal rights to Gays and Lesbians, however, on the other hand hardcore orthodox people are finding it hard to digest this law.
In India, Gays and Lesbians are fighting from many past years to get equal rights like same sex marriage etc because as per Indian law it is illegal to do same sex sex or marriage and any person found guilty of such act can get punishment up to 14 years. India is basically a strong religious country with strong opposition for such acts. However, in past we are also seeing the emergence of new voices which want to defy this age old laws.
Many people in India fear that same sex marriage can destroy our age old traditional system. However, it is also important to hear the voices of these people who are only interested in same sex marriages. Gays and lesbians are carrying out their struggle in all parts of world to get this freedom and in many developed nations; they have already got lot of success by getting new laws in their favours. In India also such movement is becoming strong and it is very difficult for next Indian governments to not give any attention to such demands.
In any free country, it is right of every individual to live his or her life as per his or her beliefs and orientations. In the modern world, it is not right to force any kind of age old laws if some people do not want to buy them. It will be good on the part of people standing against such laws to give some space to other people also.
