India's Supreme Court decriminalized gay sex!

Unread post by Bessie F. »

Yesterday, the Indian Supreme Court decriminalized gay sex, overturning more than 150 years of anti-LGBTQ legislation. Thousands in India and around the world are celebrating that 1/5 of the world's population does no longer face legal repercussions for gay sex. With so many terrible and scary things happening right now in the U.S and elsewhere regarding birth control access and LGBTQ rights, I want this to be a space to celebrate and call attention to the positive things that are also happening. Go India!
