Helo AryaKrishnan You know what is the main reason behind these actions. We can expect it as, Christian monarchy wont accept any method of homo-sexuality(by media or physically) within their premises.
The action that they chose is a wrong one regarding to the right of a person to express in the land of Republic of India(by any means). We can help them only by wide spreading the deatils through visual media and such. We know what Christian monarchy is doing in Sr. Abhaya's Murder, Ramapuram Church Demolishing (Demolishing of 17th century old church without considering state govt.'s order and response from the Parish members) and a lot of activities in and around Changanassery & Pala Dioceses. Hope u have got a correct idea about the Christian monarchy!!!!!!!!!!!
