CRIME TO CONSTITUTIONAL
WHAT IS HOMOSEXUALITY ?
Whenever we heard word LGBT community we recall the
typical appearance of a man with full of make up wearing saree and begging @
traffic signal or in train second class coach or in red light area. We call him
( hizda ) i.e transgender all other Gay Lesbian Bisexual are just
words of western culture for us.
Are they not in Indian society
?
No , may be one of our friend is gay or
lesbian or bisexual but only fear of stigma and boycott they don’t reveals their
identity as homosexual.
Homosexuals are named with LGBT Community
Lesbian
a girl likes another girl
Gay
a
boy likes another boy
Bisexual person have sexual desire from man as
well as women
Transgender person who act like women due to hormones
Indian penal code (IPC) is criminal code for India,which we got from inheritance of British slavery . it was drafted in 1860 on recommendation of first law commission of India which was est in 1834 under chairmanship of Thomas Macaulay and we continue it after freedom with some amendment of contemporary provision.
377 is IPC section which criminalizes
consensual private sexual act between adult with provision of imprisonment for life or with imprisonment of
either decription for term which may extend to 10 years and shall also be
liable to fine
HOMOSEXUALITY IS ILLNESS?
LGBT guys are discriminate on basis of their behavior
and appearance , unfortunate they are treated as mental ill but WHO declare
that ‘homosexuality is not mental illness’ Many of LGBT community people like
joyita mondal (Lok Adalat judge in north Bengal ) Pratika yashini (police officer) etc proved it by their
work
Infact it is society’s illness that they don’t
let live LGBT guy dignify life and push this community to work as sex worker or beg.
SOCIETY,CONSTITUTION AND LGBT COMMUNITY
ART 14
claims equal protection of law within the territory of India to every citizen .
IPC sec 377 itself keep LGBT community
in criminal zone though art 21 explicitly preserve right to privacy of Indian
citizen yet from last 62 years we following sec 377 stigma to our liberal, democratic nation .But in societal
view LGBT is stigma to society. Still at end of tunnel there is light and today
SC declare IPC SEC 377 unconstitutional and void.
Fight is
not stop here , constitutionally and legally it got support but it is socially
still boycotted and to break it we need social awareness through campaign and
through e- media , movies like SACRED
GAMES and VEERE DI WEDDING
Every coin
has to side like homosexuality has some problems like it may cause AIDS like
diseases and we have to create awareness of it.
