I think if nothing else, this will change typical Indian attitudes towards homosexuality.
I have been reading. Pubs and bars in Delhi have declared that gay couples may enter "no stags allowed" places.
Nightclub owners have accepted the ruling, stating that gay couples will get all the same treatment as regular couples as long as they abide by the house rules.
Well, almost all nightclubs.
There's a gay parade at Kalina/vakola today. Last night there were massive gay parties across Delhi and Mumbai. There were many gay people, who had never been to a gay party before. Simply because there were no gay parties, they were illegal!
No sanjay, this move is going to increase the number of people that will move out of the closet. They will be free to make their choices, legally.
As far as the moral issue of it is concerned, there are many in India (yes, even on Team-BHP) who frown at homosexuality and even consider it as a sickness. They are free to have their opinions.
India and India's government have simply stated that they respect an adult citizen's choice to be in a gay relationship.
And that is great news indeed!
