Legalizing gay relationships
The Delhi High Court has given its verdict – those who are gay need not be afraid of the Article 377 because if the relationship is between consenting adults it is to be accepted as an extension of a way of life. Those who fall in the category of LGBTs (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender), do not believe in normal man-woman relationships. They prefer to enjoy life in their own style. It hardly matters if someone does not approve. It is a global phenomenon and, need not be frowned upon. Over the years, people’s thinking has changed – it is better to embrace the changes rather than discard them. However, the decision has not gone down well with many groups and they plan to move the higher Courts.

It's a big step forward for India to repeal an old and outdated law in favour of something more progressive and accepting of different people and their choice. As you so rightly say this is a normal part of our world now and is not something we can or should relegate to the underground.
It is a step that moves everyone forward culturally and socially and hopefully similar ideas of acceptance and tolerance will now spread. Again, this is a huge step forward for India and shows how far he society, particularly the legal system, has advanced. Very commendable.

i agree with you ... people have to accept that social values are chaging as are social norms ... even a decade ago, live-in relationships were totally no-no ... today movies, tv serials and even short stories dwell on the theme ...
Certain religions define homosexuality as wrong but that is a matter of personal choice and morality. The bulk of these religious teachings is in any case about tolerance and homosexuals are not a threat to society, they are simply exercising a right to do as they please with their bodies. We have to accept that there are people who don't agree with a particular way of life and let it be at that. We will be better off in the long run because of it.
its interesting that India is taking huge leaps for this issue. I am not too shocked though. Its kinda their culture to be accepting of whatever their people feel is right for their own life.
