NEW DELHI: On September 6, 2018, at 12.25pm, the Supreme Court ushered India into the 21st century. With one stroke of judicial wisdom, the court flung the 1860 colonial law that criminalised homosexuality into the dustbin of history and wrote a new freedom song for lakhs of members of the LGBT community. Freedom to love anyone. Freedom from fear of persecution. Freedom to just be who you are. Here is the ruling in a nutshell...All five judges unanimously struck down parts of Section 377 of Indian Penal Code which criminalised LGBTQI community for its sexual orientationFreedom of choice cannot be scuttled or paralysed on the mercurial stance of a majorityProcreation is not the only reason for which people choose to come together. They do so for a whole lot of reasons, including emotional companionship...when every individual is liberated from shackles of social exclusion, identity seclusion and isolation from the mainstream
