Indian Health Minister, Anbumani Ramadoss passed a controversial statement by saying that the fight against AIDS will be significantly advanced when homosexuality is legalized in the country.

Presently, under section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, having sex with the same gender is a criminal act as it is “against the order of the nature.”
