No Human Beings is ILLEGAL - then why homosexuals are illegal?

So people, especially guys like Aditya should not make sarcasm out of my email. I am actually seeking a legal opinion. The idea a may not be the best or better or even good, but is not trash-able. So far we tried to convince that we are not different from others, we are not wrong doers, we are not wrong in anything, not committing crime. What makes me think that why we never tried to prove them wrong in the eyes of people. Their logic, arguments can easily by toppled over by Science and other facts. Ramdev, who is calling it a disease, is also claiming to cure it. Medically it is absolutely wrong. Ethically it is wrong. But isn't it a crime as per IPC to spread fear and wrong propaganda among the people? Please clarify. His methods of treatment can also cause mental distress, I guess. Medical science has accepted it as an orientation, a normal thing that a % of population have, they have omitted it from the list of disorder. Then how come they are tolerating the nonsense of this homophobic yoga guru. Why can't they challenge him legally? Why can't this homophobe show the way to cure this, he claims? Why can't it be dealt scientifically, legally and prove him wrong? He is directly defaming the helping psychiatrists and challenging their ways of dealing people. I understand it is not easy to take him down given his popularity and his followers. We should be behind the curtain and let the medical professionals especially psychiatrists trying to help us take it up legally. One may argue that it is our fight, we should take it forward. Agreed, but sometimes you need to take your hand around your head to hold ear. If we are in the front row, we might loose people's support as this homophobe will say that we are conspiring against him. We cannot ignore the mob. Don't forget the protest against "Nirasharam" arrest. Here he was actually guilty of a heinous crime. But in case of gay rights, people may come on street as if it another freedom fight against something which is maligning Indian culture, which could be detrimental (remember Lokpal movement, Nirbhaya movement, movement against Ramdev's camp disruption in Delhi in the middle of night etc). If such mob appears against us with opposition supporting them it will be a disaster. As the popularity of Modi is increasing, it worries me that these fascist Hindu right groups will come against it. I am not talking about other religion in view of the fact that Modi may become the next PM. When it happens other groups do not have to sweat it out to permanently damage the gay rights. So it's time to take one these powerful people down one by one by logic, law and science. Just a thought, let me know your opinion. Please no sarcasm or bad mouth. Regards, TR
