Indian ruling overturning sodomy ban to be appealed

Jul 09, 2009 17:54

I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise, but the recent ruling from an Indian court (that deemed India's archaic anti-sodomy law illegal) is being appealed to the Indian Supreme Court.

The suit was filed by a Hindu astrologist. Which just goes to show you that religious nuttiness transcends culture, and isn't just an issue in countries with a predominantly Judeo-Christian religious tradition.
