2007 BOMBAY - under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, The ban on homosexual relations was introduced by British colonial officials in 1860. Section 377 is not merely a law about anal sex alone, but applies to homosexuality in general. The lack of a consent-based distinction in the offense has made homosexual sex synonymous to rape and equated homosexuality with sexual perversity. Section 377 is the biggest affront to the dignity and humanity of a substantial minority of Indian citizens. The decriminalization of sodomy will contribute directly to restoring the dignity of homosexuals and allow the gay movement to emerge from the shadows. 2007 BOMBAY -  L’article 377 punit de dix ans de prison voire d’emprisonnement à vie les “relations charnelles contre-nature avec un homme, une femme ou un animal”. “L’héritage colonial britannique a causé des torts indescriptibles à des générations d’individus en Inde et dans les pays du Commonwealth”.
