[Marxistindia] Scrapping Section 377 Welcome

Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Scrapping Section 377 Welcome

 

The CPI(M) welcomes the judgement of the Supreme Court striking down Section
377 of the IPC thus decriminalizing same sex consensual relations between
adults.    This constitutes a historic victory for the LGBT communities who
have suffered humiliation, bigotry and even violence at the hands of
retrograde forces.

 

The CPI(M) has always supported the struggle against Section 377 which the
Supreme Court has rightly held to be arbitrary and discriminatory.
