Apropos the Delhi High Court judgement over gay rights, it is amusing to note that both the opponents and proponents of the judgement have, even if inadvertently, reduced this issue to just a Freudian debate.
This judgement is an endorsement of personal liberty and rights and inclusiveness, which any sane and civil person already understands. That the state also now does so is all the more welcome. It is one less opportunity for the insensitive law enforcerers to harrass civil people on imaginary pretexts. So far so good.
However, the accompanying celebrations and felicitations and the whole picture painted in the media has twisted this issue out of context. It almost seems like a glorification of the LGBT lifestyle choice, if there is one, over our less interesting, boringly normal heterosexual lifestyles.
This we definitely do not need. It has to be clearly understood that the issue is about inclusiveness towards the "differently normal", if I may dare to coin a term, and not about their validation as normal.
The same sentiments are carried in my letter to the editor in today's edition of Indian Express, Delhi.
I would love to hear what you think about this sensitive topic.

I’m also touched by this topic.
First of all, we should be very clear about our comments and not diplomatic like POLITICIAN.
I feel this is totally illegal & against the law & natural system.
Very harshly to comment that nature has provided the ANUS (ANAL) to throw out the waste & not to take anything as per natural system
Secondly if consent is the thing then so many INDIAN LAWS need to be changed. Because, if two persons are having NARCOTICS & DRUGS without affecting others and with mutual consent then it is ok.
THIS IS JUST a SICKNESS & deficiency in Health system & need to be addressed through medical treatment.
If we make it legal then such SICK people will make the persons standing on threshold level of this sickness as completely sick person.
THIS PROBLEM OR SICKNESS HAPPENS DUE TO INSECURITY OR THRU SOME OTHER HEALTH / MEDICAL problems.
So let us oppose such laws & sick activists to improve the HEALTH SYSTEMS of our future generations.
We are having so many NEW DEADLY AILMENTS LIKE HIV etc. due to such people.
