FTA: According to the law, gay sex is punishable by 10 years in prison. While actual criminal prosecutions are few, the law frequently has been used to harass people.

Um, am I the only person on Fark who has a copy of the Kama Sutra with more than just fun pictures? That book actually recommends some positions for lesbian couples.

That having been said, it's hard to find a copy of the KS that hasn't been annotated all to hell by the next Dr. Ruth wannabe, the KS is such and amazing book.

Wow. I hope some day the Indian nation can progress to our level of sophistication and spend it's time making it illegal for gays to adopt or foster care, for gays to be married, and throwing decorated combat veterans out of the US military because they are gay.

Poor backward heathen India. Why I bet they have country clubs that don't allow blacks or jews.

Well, it kind of depends on whether you're looking at Hinduism or Buddhism. Because at some point, the gods are regarded as Bodhisattvas or something, at which point you get the concept of the emptiness of forms, and from there it's just a short step to the Transformers.

The CNN report on the same news was way weird.

FTA:
------
An Indian court on Thursday ruled that consensual sex between adults of the same gender is legal in the country, attorneys said.

Any homosexual act without the consent of either partner remains a criminal offense, however, Indira Jaisingh, counsel for the nonprofit Naz Foundation which had challenged the law, told CNN.

The ruling means the law -- Indian penal code section 377, which had criminalized consensual homosexual acts between adults -- has been partly struck down but remains in place as far as forced homosexual acts are concerned.
-----

...yes? So? Isn't forced sexual acts, y'know, rape anyway? Isn't that supposed to be illegal, gay or not?

I hear Ganesh's dick is so big, that its a "fifth arm." Given the well known "secret" about shortcomings in the length of beefsteaks in that part of the world, you'd think a God of these men would have a wang at least at long as that trunk.

Eh, probably a point of clarification, because non-intercourse rape and consensual sodomy were probably prosecuted under the same law. It's an important factor because, for example, when Maine (?) removed its sodomy laws, its legal prohibitions on incest gained a loophole; it's legal, so long as there isn't male/female genital-to-genital intercourse involved.

Not if it's your wife. You can rape her, beat her, or rape her.

Don't worry folks, non-consensual gay sex, aka rape, is still illegal.

How can there even BE sex if NEITHER partner is consenting? If only one partner consents, that's rape, and if both consent, that's normal sex. Neither consenting? Isn't that called "nothing happened?"

From what my source of "All things India", the mammal from tamil. This is only an issue with the heavy Muslim areas, He says the Hindu and Sikh are not big fans of homosexualaty, but the Muslims are the ones who get up in arms.

Keep in mind this is only in New Delhi, if you take your gay love out of the city, jail time for you.

Not in India. The screwy Indian laws make rape a gender specific offense. Only a man can rape, and he can rape only a woman. There was a move recently to make it more gender neutral, and the feminists shot it down.
