It’s about all of us
is another fabulous piece by Pratap Bhanu Mehta where he argues that the Legalization of Homosexuality is not about Homosexuality per se but about but as i quote
"Under our constitutional scheme, no person ought to be targeted or discriminated against for simply being who they are. If we give up this value, we give up everything all of us cherish: both our liberty and our right to be treated equally. This judgment is defending our values. Simply put, the judgment says that the state has no presumptive right to regulate private acts between consenting adults. It protects privacy. That is our value. The judgment says that individuals should not feel so stigmatised that they are unable to seek medical help. That is our value. "
