India to review gay laws

NEW DELHI - INDIA is set to review its long-standing laws barring gay sex, in a move that could decriminalise homosexuality in the largely conservative country, a report said on Sunday.

Consensual sex between same-sex adults is currently punishable by a fine and a 10-year prison term under the Indian Penal Code, and most politicians have so far resisted amending the statute which dates back to British rule.

Now three key ministers have agreed to meet shortly to discuss a possible revamp of the country s homosexuality laws.

The issue was being discussed in the Ministry of Home Affairs and Health Ministry and it will come before the Law


Ministry also, Law Minister Veerappa Moily was quoted as saying by the Hindustan Times.

Critics say the laws are outdated and have been an obstacle to controlling the spread of HIV/Aids, which affects an estimated 2.5 million people in India.

The country s previous health minister had argued that allowing homosexual sex between consenting adults would bring India s largely closeted gay community into the open and increase awareness about safe sex.

But he faced opposition from other ministers who feared that decriminalising gay sex would lead to delinquent behaviour and alter the laws applying to child abuse and male rape, which are generally covered by the same statute that makes homosexuality illegal.

The news comes as gays, lesbians and transgendered Indians participated in nationwide pride marches for the second year in a row, despite taboos which mostly ignore or deny homosexuality or treat it as a disease. (Straits Times)

'LTTE cadres took me away when I was 13. First I found it hard to carry the rifle. Then I got used to it. I went to the frontline and fired at the troops,' he said.

He has not seen his parents since he joined the LTTE and hopes the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will help him find them.

'They took me away from my home and gave me military training. When they told me to go to the frontline, I got scared and refused to go. They got angry and beat me so badly. Blood came out of my nose and mouth. Then I went to the battle fearing the punishment,' said Kala, who is 17 but went into battle when she was 16.

She escaped with thousands of civilians during the third week of April.

During the last few weeks of war it seems the LTTE wanted everyone to fight the advancing Sri Lankan army. Even the children of serving LTTE cadres were not spared.

'My mother was with the Sea Tigers and my father served in the LTTE's Charles Antony Regiment. Still they took me for training.



'I saw a father trying to stop his son being taken away by the LTTE cadres. But they shot him down and took his son away,' another young man says.
