I have taken a long, long time to post this. In the interim period I have lectured on this subject, argued endlessly on the topic, have chaired a debate. However, nowhere did my true feelings on the issue come to the surface, as my views would also have been judged. Furthermore, there was, and still is some confusion in my mind regarding the issue. I post this blog without much conceptual clarity.......something I never lack.
I really have not been able to figure out what role religion play in the act of homosexuality. After all religion came much later and was superimposed on society. Laws regarding the issue were also man-made and kept the concept of common law in mind. As for the word "consensual", I do not think the law should intervene here.
Yet, at the end of the day, I am not not in favour same sex relationships. Most definitely and clearly NOT. It seems to me to be out of the realm of nature and natural laws. I do not think homosexuality is a norm. Of course, we do accept aberrations. The Sect. 377 being repealed may not have been such a good idea. Except the fact that homosexuality has been brought out in the open. Perhaps movements and laws with corrective measures could have been considered. If "adult consensual sex" be the key phrase, why not legalize and decriminalize prostitution? It would have been a greater legal victory.
Personal preferences could be maintained, but could Law have kept out of it ????
I am asking for trouble.........big time trouble.
I still do not support same-sex relationships.
