Indian Court Legalise Gay
Activities
A
court in the Indian capital, Delhi, has ruled that
homosexual intercourse between consenting adults is
not a criminal act.
The ruling overturns a one hundred and forty
five-year-old colonial law which describes same-sex
relationship as "unnatural offence".
Many people in conservative India regard same-sex
relationships as illegal or even blasphemous.
Rights group says India's laws on homosexuality
threaten human rights and encourage the spread of
HIV.
