HOMOSEXUALITY NO MORE A CRIME

A MAJORITARIAN IMPULSE

It is a majoritarian impulse to subjugate a sexual minority to live in silence.

The role of courts is more important when rights affected are of a minority, subject to historical discrimination.

SELF-DETERMINATION

Any individual has sovereignty over his/her body... sexual orientations are defined by natural instincts.

Any discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is violation of the fundamental rights.

Autonomy, intimacy and identity of an individual are to be protected. At the core of identity, lies the right to selfdetermination

Sustenance of one's identity is a filament of life, someone's sexuality cannot be criminalised in a free society.

DENIAL OF RIGHT TO PRIVACY

Society cannot dictate sexual relationship between consenting adults as it is a private affair.

Denial of right to sexual orientation is akin to denial of right to privacy.

RIGHTING A HISTORICAL WRONG

Consent must be free consent. History owes the members of LGBT redressal for past persecution and ignorance of the majority.

INSTINCT TO LOVE HAS BEEN CONSTRAINED

Homosexuality is not a mental disorder, it is a completely natural condition. It is the way a minority expresses human love and sexuality.
