Came across this interview with Bharatendu Prakash Singhal, a Hindutva ideologue, a retired IPS officer and a former BJP Rajya Sabha MP who btw is filing an appeal to over turn the legalizing of gay sex.
The basic gist of it is that he claims the section 377 under IPS code should not be repealed because it's exitence would "inhibit people from freely becoming homosexuals". And further expands on it -
"Another argument is that people who are gays feel that their desire, their very existence is being criminalised. Why? You don’t have to endorse it, but why do you to call it crime?
I have an urge to steal your motorcycle. Why should my desire be criminalised?
But in this case it’s consensual, it’s more like the lending of a motorcycle!
What about adultery – consenting adults? The whole question is that of morality in society, of social morals. That is the casualty.
But recently, on the eve of the pride parade in Delhi, a newspaper survey said 51% people have no problem with homosexuals.
Neither do I! I don’t have any problem with homosexuals. Do you? Homosexuality has existed since the beginning of time, doesn’t mean it’s a healthy thing. The Center of Disease Control in the US has done a study on how homosexuality breeds diseases. Besides it’s completely unnatural. "
I mean seriously!!! When will people stop being idiots and stop thinking being gay is in rebellion of society ??!!
And, there are some other issues that he thinks 377 supposedly serves; deterrent for sodomy, "protection" of children from sexual abuse. His point being that if gay sex is legalised then there is no stopping perverts from molesting and raping young boys..
But, isn't that a HUGE other problem ? Of the disfunctional justice system in our country? How does failure of law and order to prevent crime and protect its citizens justify restriction of constitutional rights and marginalization of a few for no fault of theirs??!!! And reason that it is punishable because it is against our culture????!!!
We really need "sex education" to become part of school curriculum. Oh wait! "Sex Education" is against our culture too!!!! HMMMM.... :OOO
