Long time back my lab mate, Pat, had written a letter to the UVa newspaper defending homosexuality. At this a lab technician, Kevin, told me that it was a brave thing that Pat had done.
I have never figured what why it is such a big deal. The sexual orientation of a person is that person's concern. It has nothing to do with the government or religion. It is just as a person breathes, eats, sees, and so does a person have sexual preference. Why should the government enter into it?
In India, of course,we have inherited the antiquated Victorian laws that essentially translates into the fact that homosexuality is a criminal offence. It is absolutely stupid but that is what you have.
Naz foundation has taken the matter to the court asking for a revision of the law. For a change Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss is supporting Naz Foundation but the Center as usual cannot see straight. So today it has submitted to the court that homosexuality is a disease.
What humbug!
Of course it is all a question of the other person being different from us. Abnormal to normal. But then how do we define normality?
