LGBT (The Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual,Trans & Intersexual Association). now legal

Now, as the historic decision came through the Delhi Highcourt, the battle has been won that started, long back in 2001.It's really a long fought "victory" to the battle. Many are calling it India’s Stonewall moment.For Anjali Gopalan, Executive Director of the Naz Foundation(India) Trust which started the legal battle in the Delhi HC in2001, wordings “we’ve finally entered the 21st century”.The journey to this momentous point started eightyears ago when Naz, a non-profitgroup, filed the petition to read down Section 377. In 2004, the court dismissed the plea. But the fight to decriminalise Section 377 was not so easily dismissed. ‘‘That was probably the lowest point of our struggle,’’ said ArvindNarrain, a lawyer. But the movement only became stronger as a group of 13NGOs, including women and child rights groups, called Voices Against 377 became a respondent in court. But even at the news conference held to celebrate the verdict came voicesof opposition. ‘‘It’s these notionsthat we have to educatepeople about,’’ said Gopalan.

Homosexuality is considered a crime & Taboo in the Indian Society & the social stigma associated with Homosexuality is till date, the most embarassing thing to the LGBT(Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual, Tans Intersexuals). Still in some of the country it is a crime worth "Death Penalty". Now India has broken the shackles & allowed the "Real Freedom " to it's meaning.

History of Homosexuality is very old & even dates back to the "Ramayan & Mahabharata".

In the Valmiki's "Ramayana", there are descriptions of "Rakshasa" (devil) women who kiss women on Ravana’s bed...Krittivasa Ramayana is the story of two widows who drink a magic potion and, in the absence of their husband, make love to each other.

First recorded gay kiss"The 4,000-year-old joint tomb of ancient Egyptian royal servants Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum" has a wall painting which is alleged to depict first same-sex kiss. Although the hieroglyphs say nothing about their relationship, but two of the paintings show them with their noses touching, which was the most intimate embrace permitted in Egyptian art of the time, used to depict kissing.

Homosexuality was first mentioned in "Fleta", a treatise on the common law of England, written in 1290. The first law penalizing sodomy was the Buggery Act of 1533, re enacted in 1563 by Queen Elizabeth-I. It made sodomy illegal in Britain and its colonies. IPC, drafted by LordMacaulay, and enacted in 1861, mentions sodomy in the chapter of offences affecting the human body.
