Hubli /Cape Town: Indian Lesbians celebrated when the Delhi High Court declared that gay sex in no more illegal and they should be protected under the law. The court had said that a statute in Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which defines homosexual, acts as “carnal intercourse against the order of nature” and made them illegal, was an “antithesis of the right to equality”. “We are elated. We think what now happens is that a lot of our fundamental rights and civic rights which were denied to us can now be reclaimed by us,” said activists after hearing the judgment. But here’s something for Indian lesbians to ponder over. The similar law was also passed in South Africa during 2005 and there were also many celebrations and agitations. Now recently African conservatives have started protesting the gay sex and they have decided to “correct” the lesbians by raping them. Lesbians are being dragged off the street and raped to “correct” them. It has become new trend called as “corrective rape” in the townships on the outskirts of Cape Town. One of the lesbian who lives in this area said she had been attacked on two occasions – on the first occasion they failed to rape her and on second she was raped. This has become a common phenomenon in the region for lesbians. The attackers said lesbians should be “whipped”. “There is no mention of lesbians in the bible,” they said. They said they approved of lesbians being raped to “correct” them and to “teach them a lesson”. They said “women should behave like women” and this was a way of “teaching” them that.

Ok, now it is matter of time this trend reaches to India. India being cultural and traditional country the gay sex legalizing will not be accepted by the majority of the people of any religion. It is very much against the nature of the nature and it is against our customs. Even in the Manusmriti, which lists the oldest codes of conduct that were proposed to be followed by a Hindu, has prescribed   the punishment for homosexual behavior. For instance, the verse referring to sexual relations between an older woman and a virgin (woman) reads”…a woman who pollutes a damsel (virgin) shall instantly have (her head) shaved or two fingers cut off, and be made to ride (through the town) on a donkey”, suggesting a severe punishment. However, the verse referring to sexual relations between two virgins suggests a relatively milder punishment – ”…a damsel who pollutes (another) damsel must be fined two hundred (panas), pay the double of her (nuptial) fee, and receive ten (lashes with a) rod”. So the gay sex observers beware. India has many religions and religious organizations. And gay sex is not acceptable to any religion. If once the gay sex becomes common phenomenon in India and the male population starts feeling the warmth of the lesbians, agitation will hit the street. Then the corrective action (correction rape) measure may start in India by religious activist. The problem with Indian mentality is that they don’t act when it is just in the growing stage. They protest when it become almost all impossible to eradicate it. So it is time to act against gay sex in India. Otherwise one day your daughter may marry your neighbor’s daughter. Beware India…..be straight……
