The Indian government opposes recognising same-sex marriages, it said in a filing to the Supreme Court on Sunday, urging the court to reject challenges to the current legal framework lodged by LGBT couples.

The Ministry of Law believes that while there may be various forms of relationships in society, the legal recognition of marriage is for heterosexual relationships and the state has a legitimate interest in maintaining this, according to the filing seen by Reuters, which has not been made public.

Amazing that this fast growing country recognizes the sanctity of man and woman. The U.S. has become the laughing stock, vastly we’re turning into a circus, allowing the freaks (trannys) to run the show.

Headline should read “Every Country in the World Other than the Libertine West Fails to Recognize Gay Marriage, and Many of those countries still have laws on the books making homosexuality a capital offense.”
