I was very surprised and happy by the decision made by the Delhi High Court. Homosexuals (men and women) exist all over the world, in all religions and in all communities. The fact that we dont hear too much about them or perceive them as deviant has more to do with the fact that it is considered a crime (socially and legally) to admit that one is homosexual. But hiding the facts does not make them dissapear. I recently read an article in the paper which many Indian homosexuals are forced to marry women (because of our conceptions of what is normal). I feel truly sorry for those men and their wives. Hopefully this law will prevent such "forced" marriages. I never thought I would see the day when such a landmark decision would be taken by the Indian High Courts. It makes me very proud of my Indian origins.
