The Supreme Court has today decriminalized homosexuality (Section 377 of Indian Penal Code) in delivering a historic verdict. The LGBT community has welcomed the verdict.
A petition against the regressive Section 377 was heard by a five-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra. Only unnatural sexual offences against minors and animals (read sodomy and bestiality) are now criminal in the country.
