Homosexuality is considered WRONG in India? What a shocker!

I thought that was only considered wrong by 'Bigoted right-wing Christians' and Bible thumpers who opposed homosexual behavior...

I'm confused.

Committing homosexual acts(unnatural acts) is a punishable offence in India according to the Indian Penal Code(1860).You can be a homosexual & say have a live-in relationship with another person,but can't marry or engage in acts which are likely to be detected.It sounds very weird.The IPC was framed by the British & critics of the anti-homosexuality provision says that it reflects Victorian sensibilities,though they conveniently forget that most hindus abhor such perversity.

I heard that in India, You can get killed if people know that you are homosexual. They believe that it is against the 'nature's law'.
