It is about time India did away with Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which bans sex “against the order of nature”. Law-enforcing agencies tend to use the provision to persecute homosexuals. There is no reason in this liberal day and age for the state and civil society to equate homosexuality with deviant behaviour.
