Reaction after India鈥檚 Supreme Court ruled that gay sex no longer a criminal offence.
India鈥檚 Supreme Court has ruled that gay sex is no longer a criminal offence. The ruling overturns a 2013 judgement that upheld a colonial-era law, known as section 377, under which gay sex is categorised as an 鈥渦nnatural offence鈥�. The court has now ruled discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a fundamental violation of rights. Callers share their views with Nomia on what some are saying is an historic day for India鈥檚 LGBT community.
