Yes we all are (at least us, the Queer folks & supporters) bouncing with joy over the recent Delhi High court verdict – in a way – legalizing Homosexuality.
But honestly I am not too sure about this.
In perhaps the first gay marriage after the Delhi High Court in a landmark judgment read down Article 377, a law that made even consensual sex between adult homosexuals a punishable offence, two 18-year-old men, brushing aside protests from family and jeers from society, went to a temple near their house in Chandigarh and “got hitched for life”.

The freedom to choose one’s own partner is a deserving right for all. But tell me isn’t the above a misuse, considering they are ONLY 18 years of age?
Since the legal age for men to marry in India is 21, I would have to call this one misuse.
it is good the first time it is in india
Sambit Tripathi…why do you marry women? You should tell your parents in Bhubaneshwar about your fantasies. 2 marriages failed now have a gay one ok!
