India Supreme Court upholds colonial ban on gay sex

India Supreme Court upholds colonial ban on gay sex The Indian Supreme Court has struck down a 2009 ruling by a lower court to decriminalize homosexual sex and will uphold the ban. India’s gay community was “disappointed” by the ruling and declared it was a “black day” for LGBT rights. In Wednesday’s hearing the Supreme Court said that the Delhi High  Court overreached its authority by ruling against the ban in  2009. The Delhi High Court moved to abolish Section 377 of the  Indian Penal Code, which classifies anal sex as “carnal  intercourse against the order of nature,” in 2009…. View Article

This has been known for some time. What’s new is that Hersh says that the main reason Obama backed down from war wasn’t Putin’s brilliant chess move – or even the overwhelming opposition of the American people to war.
