Question

what are your views on the removal of section 377.....kindly don't give inappropriate answers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Homosexuality means attraction between the same sexes. It is perceived to be unnatural as this orientation doesn’t bode well with the majority i.e. ‘heterosexuality’. Since they are a minority, they are continuing to be repressed and oppressed by the majority even in today’s modernized world.

-It violates fundamental rights guaranteed by the Indian constitution viz. Art 14 & 15 (Equality), Art 19 (freedom of expression of sexuality) and Art 21 (dignified life).

-Other progressive nations such as USA and Europe have decriminalized it.

-Minorities – linguistic, regional, religious, etc. have got new voice in the new world order with the help of civil societies.

Way forward:

-Homosexuality should be legalized so that this minority doesn’t face atrocities from the public as well as the police.

-Mass awareness programmes should be conducted to educate people that it is natural, not a disorder but just another expression of sexuality.

-They should be focused upon in the mainstream policy making and social welfare programmes. For ex: Job reservation.

India is a vibrant democracy where everyone has the right to live a dignified life. Majority shouldn’t decide for a minority whether they have the right to live the life of their choice or not. Therefore, the draconian Sec 377 must be struck down.
