The Delhi High Court's ruling that decriminalized Section 377 of the Indian Penal Court was usurped by Supreme Court early today. First things first, let's give the SC a huge applause. Marital rape is still natural enough to not be criminalized.
In my opinion, sex between consenting adults of the same gender is as unnatural as air travel before the Wright Brothers came along. (This is of course, disregarding Da Vinci's exploits in this domain). Back then, it was natural to label people as heretic, if they dared to express their *abnormality*. The SC's act is nothing short of labeling people who have expressed their sexual orientation to be different from the 'normal rule of nature' as heretic and worthy of punishment.
I voluntarily got roped in a conversation debating the unnatural-ness of the law and a couple of people expressed joy in the final ruling of the SC. Their absolutely preposterous argument being that 'there might come a day when all humans turn homosexual?!'. Oh, the humanity! I weep metaphorical tears and entreat you to take a moment to contemplate the statement you just made. If ALL humans were wired to follow convention, we wouldn't be having this conversation. What is your problem with change? Why are we hell bent on labeling everything as natural? Why are we so determined to abandon our ability to think and reason? Without a moment's contemplation, we dive into the debate and are soon arguing over the probability of all humans being attracted to people of the same gender.
The SC's ruling has brought into effect a penal provision against homosexual relations. So, please! Beware of the consequences before you realize you are gay. If it seems natural for you, fight against it. You won't be the first hypocrite in a 1 meter radius.
