Civilization under threat!

I was apalled by a recent article that featured on the front page of the Hindustan Times (a newspaper worse than the "Slimes of India"). Infact it was only the HT that chose to put up this article... and that in itself speaks volumes of its derogatory nature.

The Article quoted that a Supreme Court Bench ( the judges weren't named) sought the Government at the Centre and Government of Delhi to review Article 377 of the Constitution. Further the article went onto inform that Article 377 is the law that makes homosexuality illegal in the country.

The Supreme Court was acting under a litigation (I have no idea if it was a Public Interest Litigation... for I see no public interest in this) filed by the Naz Foundation.

Now... I think... the Naz Foundation despite what it does for people who are HIV+ or who suffer from AIDS, should be banned in the country for it stand up for the rights of homosexuals. Also... the Supreme Court Judges who dared to attack our civilization must be forced to retire... and they shouldn't be given any privileges whatsoever that are otherwise reserved for retired judges. Also... we need a law rather a sub-clause to Article 377 allowing the law enforcement agencies to curb any mention of this in the mass media. What I mean is ceritificates awarded to movies such as Fire, Page 3, Kal Ho Na Ho, My Brother Nikhil should be withdrawn until the makers of these movies approve off cutting the objectionable scenes.

I wonder whether you are being satirical or does the movements for gay rights really bothers you so much. I don't understand what's the big deal bout civilization.

I'm scared because it doesn't sound like satire to me??

Why would you argue for this kind of "silencing of the media". In the end, preventing of freedom of speech means only government-approved information will be aired. Why would you ever want that??

I also don't understand why you would want to remove or suppress the rights of homosexuals? Rights for one person should be the same as for another person!
