Civil liberties, Educational Institutions, Supreme Court, Section 377 verdict

Why the Section 377 verdict is a once-in-a-lifetime teachable moment for educational institutions

Same sex marriage, Gay sex, Supreme Court, Section 377 verdict

Can we please stop romanticising Supreme Court's Section 377 verdict?

Grant all other civil liberties to same-sex couples. Gay people are as boring and bourgeois as any other Indian heterosexual couple.
