The latest news in India is how the government took a "giant step back" in regards to same-sex relationships.
The supreme court has found that this offense is punished by ten years in prison. Ten years in prison for being gay.
I'm not quite sure how that makes sense and I certainly don't agree with it. Why is it okay to throw people in jail because of their sexuality. They're not doing harm to anyone. If anything, it's the anti-homosexuals that mob and attack the people of same-sex relationships.
The fact that the government can judge a person based on their personal lives is unfair. If a constitution says each personal should be treated equally, why do these stupid laws exist?
This is a touchy subject in almost every country. As America begins to make same-sex marriage legal in many states, India is putting more of a strain on the topic.
I think the Supreme Court of India has to rethink this order. I'm one of those people that believe others should be able to live their lives however they want, as long as they're not causing harm to anyone else.
