We are not criminals anymore

Chennai Dost welcomes the Delhi High Court ruling of July 2, 2009, that decriminalizes consensual same-sex behavior among adults. The judgement, long awaited, lends new hope to millions of homosexual, bisexual and transgender Indians who have had to bear the unjust burden of criminality imposed by an obsolete colonial law. Though a High Court verdict, it is an important precedent that has nation-wide implications for equality, non-discrimination, dignity and inclusiveness for all in society, as envisioned by Jawaharlal Nehru.

The big news was actually being misinterpreted by many people that it was binded to Delhi only. But finally, as per the real judgement we can say that the Gay sex between adults is legal in whole of India.

Chennai Dost would like to thank all those people including Naz Foundation who fought hard for this great verdict which will bring smile to millions of gays in India. We would like to thank the judges who ordered this verdict and the media support. Now Gays can proudly say that we are living in a Great Democratic Country.

Though there is a court order now, we still need to go a long way and fight for the acceptance of the society, gay marriages, benefits for sexual minorities which will help us to live in a normal way with the basic fundamental rights...but as of now...It is party time guys...
