Section 377

The LGBT community sees a ray of hope after there is a five-judge constitution bench  to be held on Section 377.  The bench promises for a completely  new look on the section. Section 33 states that 
"Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for the term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine."

The explanation given by the court is "Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offense described in this section.

The Section reflects nothing but prejudices. We live in a world where each one of us is educated and can understand what's wrong and what's right. Merely saying that its unnatural makes no sense.
Many people support the law that "this prevents the spread of HIV/AIDS."
I believe this as bullshit. Then why not stop the allowed sex? Why not put a pause on red light areas? Do they don't present the dangers?

Many people identify their homosexual nature even when they are kids. But they fear to tell the people and thus many of them live a life of depression, anxiety. They are denied the basic human rights of being happy. 

Even they are human beings and should be treated as human beings. Include them in your outings, conversation, discussions. Make them feel accepted. 

According to a research, it is found that homosexuals are more happy and focussed than heterosexuals. India has always been a country where every individual is given the right to be happy and is not punished unnecessarily. Then why here? Why can't the public be supportive and understand the emotions of the people? 
Its good to see that our country is once again ready to take a re-look at Section 377 and we all hope the results to be positive.
