The Supreme Court said that gay sex among consenting adults
is not an offence after hearing a batch of petitions challenging the
Constitutional validity of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code that
criminalises homosexuality. Calling Section 377 irrational and arbitrary, the court
stressed that the LGBTQ community enjoys the same rights as other citizens
under the Constitution. The Supreme Court also said that other aspects of
Section 377 dealing with unnatural sex with animals and children will remain in
force.
