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.
The minister feels that the fight against the deadly virus could be advanced if the government doesn’t consider homosexuality as a crime and encourage gays and lesbians to come out of the closet.
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.”
