India scrapped a colonial-era ban on gay sex in a new landmark Supreme Court ruling. Gay sex is considered taboo by many in socially conservative India, and had previously been punishable by up to 10 years in jail. But a five-judge bench in India’s Supreme Court was unanimous in overturning the ban recently.
The bigoted law held that sex between members of the same sex was “against the order of nature.” Five petitioners challenged the law on the grounds that it was discriminatory since it unfairly prosecutes consenting adults. “Any consensual sexual relationship between two consenting adults – homosexuals, heterosexuals or lesbians – cannot be said to be unconstitutional,” said the Chief Justice of India as he read out the judgement to cheering citizens. Congrats, India: at last, love wins!
