What is your main opposition to the 377 case? Homosexuals are branded by foreign-funded AIDS NGOs, such as the petitioner Naz Foundation in this case, as ‘high-risk groups’. This is not based on any study or scientific evidence. In our appeal we asked for evidence that homosexuals are a high-risk group. NACO was supposed to conduct a study that is till date incomplete and unpublished. The judgement and the media attention to it has completely ignored that the case was about AIDS. In that case the reading down of 377 is insignificant. Why are you opposing it? It will lead to the commodification of homosexuals. That is a huge market waiting to exploit the opportunity. It’s a 15 billion dollars business. It ‘s a sex industry waiting to be exploited. Worldwide? No, in India alone! How did you get the figure? It’s from a study that I will disclose at the right time. But what will this business be like? And are you saying this was the motive of Naz Foundation? Naz and others are the pimps of the sex industry. These are not GB Road like pimps but they pretend to be consultants. What will happen now is that they will open gay clubs and bars. That’s how the business will flourish. But if there are straight clubs what’s the problem with gay clubs? There will be prostitution all over. Gay sex is being allowed but there’s amovement of prostitutes demanding sex workers’ licence. If gay sex is being allowed why can’t prostitutes be given licences? If prostitution is licensed then you will support the reading down of 377? Then anything can happen. Then you can sit in your home and sell your father, sell your mother, negotiate the rates for your sister. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
