Dilip says – today gives reason for every Indian to celebrate:

Well, the best news of I don’t know how long is what transpired in the Delhi High Court today. The judges there did overturn Section 377. No longer are our gay brothers and sisters breaking the law by doing what the rest of us do with not even a thought of the law.

Gaybombay says the next step is to party!

Its a not just a victory for gay rights, but even more its a victory for human rights. If we divide the society, we remain JUST ABOUT. Just about children, just about women, just about men. All collectively make the society – this decision accepts the need to respect the basic dignity of all individuals and for people to lead their own lives on their own terms, in their own way. It is a victory for common sense over unreasoning prejudice. That makes it a victory for all Indians.

mssnlayam says the entire judgment is awesome! He has also posted a link to the ruling and a few ‘nuggets’ from it:

In the run up to the court case there was a lot of discussion about homosexuals accelerating the spread of HIV/AIDS, and that was one argument for same-sex intercourse to remain illegal. I was always baffled by such discussion and to me the issue was about privacy and individual liberties in a democratic society. It was clear to me as day, that Section 377 is unconstitutional. I am glad that the Judges spoke about civil liberties in no uncertain terms.
