(The following is de outcome of de 'research' done based on a debate i had wid Amal, the active post is available @ indiblogger forum)
i'M fed up...Just 'another' constitutional amendment..n as usual Media celebrated it...itz excusable...but now public hav started doin de same...bloggersvilla has taken up de cause it seems. too many posts supporting de phenomenon.
the Vitality of the current legal amendment is this: Homosexual community is susceptible to HIV infection and this high risk group was mostly reluctant to reveal same sex behaviour because of fear of the law enforcement agencies.(Frontline, July 31, 2009)
hmm hey lemme ask ye...just tell me wat ull feel wen u find out dat yer daughter is lesb or yer son is gay...b frank k..? i mean no offence :) curiosity(hope de cat's not killed)..
i'm not speakin against homosexuality...just dat im least bothered...itz 'human' u c...de makerz of de constitution included all "voluntary sexual intercourses against the order of nature wid any man, woman or animal" under UNNATURAL SEXUAL OFFENCES sec377 I.P.C.
wid 58 additional females for every 1000 males...kerala do exposed lesbianism thru media years back...n de De current amendments only favour intercourse wid concent...
wat i hate is de unwanted publicity dat de topic is gettin...der r a billion tiny yet vital day 2 day amendments dat passes our notice...Yeah my point is leave de homosexualz alone...de law makers did wat they do ...ensure 'no descremination''' The topic ends der...de media celebrated it for few days...but lez entertain it no more...let dem lead der lifez...de social stigma may drive off slowly..perhaps days wil cum wen people shout yeah im homosexual!!!but y all hue n cry...wid all 'jai jai' n 'i support them slogans'...???
now turnin 2 de lighter side...beastiality, incest, sodomy, buccal-coitus, exist de same way homosexuality exists..all r as per definition (ref-Forensic Medicine, by Reddy) Behavioral Abnormalities...Imagine laws being passed protecting them from descrimination...will de same media PLAY DRUMS??? will similiar posts fill de blogosphere...I think...just think k...'bestiality' will remain as uncensored comedy in movz like american pie or euro trip, n de rest will b part of de adult-xxx movies...Yet people luv 2 say 'I SUPPORT HOMOSEXUALITY'...HOLLYwood has been showing homos 4 ages...dey nevr created fuzz...no controversies...even chartbusters like V 4 vendetta or Watchmen showz lesb kisses...no probs...Deepa mehta directs a bold movie...ho...comes out de shourya of Indians...a constitutional amendment cums up...hoo here Indians r again sayin JAI...!!! attitudez must change...imbibe de nice messages n spread them...
my VERDICT:Homosexuality is an Abnormal Behavior (medical texts say)...better leave them 2 der own...No discriminations b lashed out.Counsel them...Personally I donno how ill tolerate if i find out my kith n kin r suffering wid such emotions..i might not punish them (hooo cant go 2 jail) but ill do advice them...
Never PROMOTE it at least...Homosexual relations r never safe...The very first case of AIDS in dis very world was reported among homos in USA...none will deny dat...De kindo physical relations dat homos can get into r dangerous...eg. Anal sex among gays boost risk of HIV transmission owing 2 de increased chance of blood contact...dono about de health risks among lesbians...MOREOVER HOW WILL DE WORLD SURVIVE YAAR?? HOWL POPULATIONs REPLENISH?? :)sO stop givin unwanted publicity 2 de topic...let us build a strong future...Der was just one adam n eve...fortunately they acted Naturally..!!!
(apa=American Psychological Association)
the APA removed homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychological Disorders in 1973. In 1975 it then released a public statement that homosexuality was not a mental disorder. In 1994, two decades later, the APA finally stated, "...homosexuality is neither a mental illness nor a moral depravity. It is the way a portion of the population expresses human love and sexuality"
It's this that de Highcourt sited.
The SC has asked the govt 2 speed up.

read an entire discussion in the comments section of Amal's post on the same topic.. well I'd say it's a debatable topic and you have covered the points well.. i guess the people in question might not be taking this entire hue and cry about homo thingy made legal... it is still a social stigma.. it will take more than a legal amendment to make them walk on the roads with their heads held high even without worrying about there sexual orientation.
Good Post Kochu..
God bless

I think the ultimate aim should be to leave sexual preferences to individuals. As a gay myself I want no publicity about gays and want gays to be left alone. But at the same time I dont want to be left alone as some outcast from the society. I want to be left alone but within the realm of the society, without being treated as unnatural. So, until that time it is necessary to hammer home to the rest of the society about gays being normal. And this can be done effectively with the help of the media and other means. I think it is only through the media that many parents came to know the word 'gay' and the existence of gays and hopefully it will be through media that many parents will come to terms with their child being gay.
P.S. thanks for the article

Comparing Homosexuality with bestiality or sodomy is not right.Fact is that its 'CONSENTING ADULTS' and in another category that seems to be missing.
Please research and write,instead of spilling hate.

homosexuality ...well , its upon the individual to decide wat he/she wats frm life. For me its a complete no no...i cant imagine how ppl can get into it..but for those who are homos...there must be some reason! n regarding media..its carzy to find something masaledar and to hav a cover story 24 hrs..
