September 6 is a historic day for India and a moment of pride for its citizens, quite literally. The Supreme Court decriminalised the Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which considered gay sex a criminal offence. It is no longer criminal for the LGBTQ community to engage in consensual gay sex in private. Everyone has welcomed the move and there is an outpour of happy reaction on social media. In fact, the social media is colourful today than ever before. Know All About The Historic Judgement.
A five-judge Constitutional bench legalised same-sex relations between adults and the quotes from the judges are being reshared over and over again to emphasise on love with dignity. 'Love wins' and the sentiment is being expressed online and how. The LGBTQ flag is hurled on all social media platforms and so is the happiness flowing.
