Sec 377...it hurts

Sec 377 being upheld by the SC created much a furore within the LGBT community. Having close friends and well wishers in the LGBT community made me feel what they were going through. Almost feeling the pain and confusion that they went through. It is not different to anything that I would feel for any other friend or family. With the outburst on FB, I had quite a few people sniggering and asking me if I was also gay. Many of us have an undertone of sarcasm when we use the word "gay". If referring to visually challenged as "blind" is inappropriate, if looking down upon "differently abled" is inhuman...how is this any different? Stop looking at them as people with a disability! They are not! It is a preference, a choice, a way of life, which is as normal as anything else! Many of us heterosexuals fall in love with "the wrong people" from the opposite gender. What is wrong in finding "the right person" from the same gender? What is criminal about it? What is criminal about gay sex? If 2 consenting adults are involved in their own private space?! Homosexuals do not go around raping people from the same sex, they also have preferences, likes and dislikes, choices and good taste. They do not go on rampages having sex with people. There is so much more running through my head, the angst I feel for my friends. They are anyway facing a lot of opposition - family doesn’t accept their choices, friends move away, colleagues oust them. Its only the community they have to fall back on in for some peace and to feel belonging. Then the law comes into place and tells that what they are committing a crime?! Appalling It the heterosexual world, the only equivalent I could think of is, a pregnant, widowed woman asked to remarry and live with an abusive man and this being totally legal!
