10 Countries That Completely Hate Gay People - Listverse
India is one of most homophobic countries in the world. One more list which shows the level of Indian society. Things might not be so dark afterall, a lot of members posting to this thread showed that maybe the change is coming.
Excerpts from this laughable piece of black journalism:
For a country that bills itself as "the world's biggest democracy," India sure has a habit of shutting its minorities out of the democratic system.
Yes, India is a democratic country, so the Parliament has not so far repealed
a law that resonates with the vast majority of the people, unlike pseudo-democracies where laws get hijacked due to pressure groups. India is an example of
vox populi, vox dei. This is something the west can learn from India.
Moreover, when did India shut its minorities out of the democratic system? Everyone can vote, unlike the Fascist Baltic States.
In 2009, the High Court in Delhi threw out a 153-year-old law passed by the British colonial administration that made consenting sex between two adults of the same gender a crime.
The Delhi HC never threw out a law. The Judiciary cannot throw out a law. Only the Legislature can. The Delhi HC put a
stay on the law, which was removed by the Supreme Court.
