Gansan, please try to understand. Anyone in India is free to frown upon gay people. You may disapprove too, by all means this is your choice.
But gay people not only faced social rejection, they stood a legal chance of being thrown into JAIL for simply being gay. And that, feels wrong to me.

At least now they are not in legal trouble. Socially, I don't think much will change for them overnight. But this is a step forward in freedom and democracy IMO.
