(India) - India is a conservative country where a homosexual relationship is an offence under section 377 of Indian penal court (IPC) but in article 14-1 (A), where people have the right to freedom and equality by which people can choose any thing if it is not harmful for others. Still people hesitate to talk on this issue saying homosexual relationships are a threat to religion and society. Gautam Panah, who is currently fighting a case in the Supreme Court against section 377 of IPC says, "It will help curtail HIV/AIDS and Procreation." Tanuj 24, a student of Delhi University who is in a homosexual relationship with Abhay 26, an engineer in the merchant navy says, "Nobody wants to help us. India being a democratic country why can’t we live together?" Adding, “Our family is also against us. They do not want to keep relations with us anymore. Even our society doesn’t accept it but we are happy and we will continue to live together.”
