Homosexuals are very badly discriminated against in India. For example if an employer finds that there employee is gay they will fire them. Many homosexuals and transsexuals are barred from working because of their nature. As a result most live in grinding poverty.
It must obviously be because homosexuality is illegal in India. But anyone that knows Indian history will know that Indians have been very tolerant and accepting of homosexuals, transsexuals, eunuchs, ect. In fact they were allowed to own land and many other privileges. Even Hindu deities had homosexual relations so it is even in the mythology.
But when the British came all this changed. After completely taking over India they imposed their laws as well, which made India homophobic.
And the law that makes homosexuality in India illegal is called none other than "Sodomy". Sodomy is a Christian sin and the word sodomy derives itself from European Christianity. Sodomy isn't the only British Christian law it has either.
Why hasn't India done away with these stupid British Christian laws? Although I'm not gay myself, homosexuals should have the right to consenting sex. And the true India would be far more tolerant to sexual minorities. India is a Hindu/Secular nation, not Christian one with idiotic laws like "Sodomy". Heck even modern Britain has abolished that law despite being more Christian. Why hasn't India advanced in this area yet? If it is the nation of the free then all people should have this freedom as well.
