The posts here are really interesting. I think, a policy matter has three points to consider – 1> The logic behind the policy 2> The ability of the policy to effect the desired result 3> After effects of the policy .

In case of homosexuality – the reason to ammend the policy is clear – ' Freedom to choose' . The ways how this ammendment in the 377 is to be carried out is still under debate, with different groups looking for different wordings. But the after effects – how legalising homosxuality would affect the existing norms of the society – is not known .
Without taking any position abt this issue, should not we try to deliberate on the last two issues related to the policy change, considering that the logic of 'Freedom ' is a compelling reason to change the policy?

An interesting and thought-provoking theory! Although, like Kavi, I am a straight person celebrating gay/lesbian freedom! People should be free to choose and live with their partners, of whatever gender, religion, caste or age!

Article 377 has invited so much celebration / attention / media coverage.

And it is the first time that the Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jain, Sikh and all the others have come together to speak out in one voice.

And that gives me a great kick and i relished seeing them together on TV. For once! Against a number (377) as a common enemy !

Thats a straight guy deriving some vicarious pleasure !
