I think I remember reading that comment at the time.
India will have to be destroyed (IMO) before "gay" rights gain any traction.
Have you ever read any of the Manu Samhita? It's an amazing book; was guiding much of the law in India even through the British rule from what I've read. Of course, the details certainly couldn't be applied now (Kali Yuga too far advanced) but the principles are amazing. Cruelty to animals was severely punishable as well.
little jeremiah,
Your knowledge of foreign traditions, religions, and cultures is amazing!!! People like you are the ones I have so much to learn from. Thanks a lot!!!
You're 100% right about the Indian dislike for the so-called gay rights/marriage.
BTW, the Manu Samhita much-malaigned caste division started out as a merit-based system. It was only later that the caste system became based on one's family origins. I blame that needless development (caste system based on one's family origins) on the power-hungry consolidating their power further.
