Homosexuality in India

Hat tip to Iain Dale and Shane Greer for reminding me of this situation. It amazes me (although why I don't know) that its only now that India has done this. What embarrasses and shames me is that, not only is this ruling for Delhi only, but that some Christian groups there are opposed to the move. Especially because, for me this goes beyond theological arguments, this is to do with human dignity, loving ones neighbour as oneself, and protecting the individual (whoever he or she may be) from bullying and hatred.
I have touched on the Christian side of this argument before (inevitable given my faith I suppose), but one thought I would like to leave with any Indian Christian brethren is this. Lets leave the theology aside for a moment. Imagine you were caught lusting over a girl and were threatened with prison. Do you think thats right? Do you think it's a disproportionate response? Perhaps there is another question you may ought to consider, namely do you have any friends you know to be gay?
Something to ponder.
