“India is set to review its long-standing laws barring gay sex, in a move that could decriminalize homosexuality in the largely conservative country, a report said Sunday. Consensual sex between same-sex adults is currently punishable by a fine and a 10-year prison term under the Indian Penal Code, and most politicians have so far resisted amending the statute which dates back to British rule. Now three key ministers have agreed to meet shortly to discuss a possible revamp of the country’s homosexuality laws.” (06/28/09) Link: http://tinyurl.com/kr7aac Filed under: PND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
