World: You can now be gay without fear of arrest in (a small part of) India
A ban on homosexual sex has been overturned. Today, a New Delhi court overturned section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which bans consensual gay sex. The decision, which only applies only in New Delhi, is a huge victory for the country’s gay rights movement. Religious leaders panned the decision, saying it was leading to further Westernization of the conservative-leaning country. source
