What is section 377 and how it is ruining the nation India?

As per the book language Section 377, IPC reads as: 377. Unnatural offences.
Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man,
woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment
of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable
to fine.
The section was declared unconstitutional with respect to sex between consenting
adults by the High Court of Delhi on 2 July 2009. That judgement was overturned by
the Supreme Court of India on 12 December 2013, with the Court holding that
amending or repealing Section 377 should be a matter left to Parliament, not the
judiciary.

Section 377 was a law proposed by the British in 1860 in India. According to this law
two adults of same sex cannot have sex. Moreover anal sex and oral sex is considered
illegal according to this law and cannot be practiced by anyone including straight
people.
Till now people of India believed that homosexuals are only punished under this law but
in reality everyone is covered under this law. The most funniest part of this whole
scenario is that British have removed the same law from their constitution and
have legalized same sex marriages and relation in their country but India is blindly
following the old obsolete law of British which was intentionally drafted for India to
create disturbances and hatred in environment as Indian rich history of kamasutra and
mythology supported homosexuality to a greater extent.

This law is irrelevant and obsolete in many ways. The two consulting adults cannot even
have a relation or sex if they are of same orientation which is a clear violation of human
rights. There is no liberty or no freedom left because of this law. In other language
people can only have sex for procreation and sex cannot be done for enjoyment which is
the most backward concept. It is a known fact that nobody can have sex only for
procreation. Human beings are born to have sex. The sexual organs are not built only
for procreation but also for enjoyment and every possible human being enjoys sex for
enjoyment.
The market is flooded with contraceptive devices and condoms to prevent pregnancy
and to promote sex for enjoyment. It has been scientifically proven that sex is
important for body and it is the most powerful biological need.
The people who are against homosexuals are also a culprit and criminal as they enjoy
every type of sex with their opposite sex partner. Secondly besides foreplay and vaginal
intercourse, oral sex and anal sex is practiced by millions of Indians as it is a part of
sex. Advocating this law makes every individual of India a criminal. It is impossible to
arrest people on the basis of sex method they opt.

Is it possible to monitor the bedrooms of every Indian to see whether they are doing
vaginal intercourse or anal or oral sex? Anal sex and oral sex is part of sex and it is
present since the history of India, the greatest evidence of this is Kamasutra, the oldest
love book of India. Instead of promoting safer sex methods India is following these
awful laws which violates the life, liberty and freedom of people of India but nobody
cares for it as LGBT community is considered the prime target in this. The
heterosexuals who are doing anal sex and oral sex frequently believes that they will
never be caught as they are married and they are having children which is enough to
keep the authorities silent.
Because of section 377 the HIV/AIDS cases are not treated well and most of the
homosexuals or people of lgbt community do not go for checkups or treatment as being
open as homosexual will create problem for them. They also face negligence and
ignorance from doctors as they do not have any recognition. This section 377 is
promoting HIV/AIDS as the fear of being caught keeps homosexual community under
closet and people dont gather courage to get them tested or medicated.
The police frequently harass and exploit homosexuals for money and there is no
prevention of this extortion as homosexuals love is considered a crime in India and a
source of income for cops.

As gay sex is criminalized in India, millions of gays marry woman in pressure by

parents and society and ruin the life of the girl. There are millions of divorce cases
recorded in India and the most common reason among most of them is sex. The girl
remains unconsummated as the gay husband does not feel any attraction to woman.
The gay men cannot reveal their identity to the girl as it is a crime and they simply get
married and ruin everything. Sometimes these marriages take a disastrous end as many
women have committed suicide after continuous ignorance. The government can ban
gay sex but they cannot force gay men to have sex with woman. Moreover most of the
woman get engaged in extra marital affair as the absence of sex in marriage provokes
them to become unfaithful. Just because of this law millions of girls are getting trapped
in the marriage with gay husband.

The so called saints of India have taken advantage of this law to shine their carrier as a
sex pioneer. They provide fake medicines and fake promises to cure homosexuality.
Sadly many parents give their only son or daughter to them and the result they get is
worse than ever. Frequent torture and humiliation makes the condition of homosexuals
worse as these saints attack verbally and emotionally to kill the self conscious and
dignity of the homosexuals in India. Surprisingly these uneducated saints are welcomed
by media to give their negative views about homosexuality. They create confusion and
misinterpret the issue to the public and in reality their claims have no evidence and
reference but still media entertain them in debates for good TRP. Besides this saints
from different religions are also invited for discussion and their obsolete ideology
based on their uneducated background makes things complicated for homosexuals.
Uncountable straight men are committing rapes and sexual crimes with small girls and
animals but still homosexuals are blamed for it. A sexual crime can be committed by
any one and the history of rapes in India has shown that almost every rapist who rapes
woman practice anal sex apart from vaginal sex in the rape act. Heterosexuals have
achieved distinction in rapes and sexual crimes but still homosexuals are considered
responsible for anal and oral sex.

Homosexual relation is not only based on sex, emotional bonding, support, affection
and love are equally practiced just like any other couple. We must also not forget that
millions of adults prefer penetration of anal and oral apart from vaginal intercourse
and they are straight. Surprisingly heterosexuals are much more active in
experimentation when it comes to sex then homosexuals.
It has also been noticed that homophobic people who hate homosexuals are also closet
gays and the reason of hatred is basically jealousy and envy. Most of the homophobic
people who are of old generation do not got chance to experience good sex in their life
time but seeing present gay generation in freedom creates envy and jealousy to a great
extent in them. They believe that if they havent got it why they will allow others for the
same. They dislike and hate homosexuals as if homosexuals are some terrorist or
murderer.
The section 377 states that unnatural sex with men, women and animal is punishable.
In reality forced sex whether natural or unnatural should be punished but sex with
consent of both the partners should be allowed as preventing that is violation of human
rights.
Secondly sex with animal and child should be punishable under this law which is totally
justified.

The section 377 needs serious amendments and the main activity which should
be criminalized is having sex with animal and children. Two adults making out love
with consent are not criminal as expressing love is like worshiping god. The world is
already filled with hatred and corruption, violating the fundamental rights of
homosexuals is the most horrifying sin which the homophobic people are committing
which they are not aware about.
