Judgment on Section 377 welcomed
NEW DELHI: Describing Thursday as an "exciting" day for people with different sexual preferences, Voices Against 377 and Naz Foundation (India) Trust have welcomed the Delhi High Court judgment that said making gay sex among consenting adults a criminal offence violated fundamental rights.
Addressing a news conference soon after the judgment, representatives of the two organisations that had filed the public interest litigation petition told journalists that the regressive law had been used to criminalise homosexual and transgender people in India.
