LGBT - Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender - Normal or Abnormal - Homosexuality - crime or not? - - SUPREME COURT verdict - But not the Last word on LGBT

L G B T

LGBT stands for  "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender".

The culture of LGBT is spreading like wildfire in Developed countries. India, in that sense, is fast becoming a Developed Country. 

But, Is LGBT a normal or abnormal phenomenon? 

In my view, anything that  does not serve a Normal Human purpose -  is abnormal. We must therefore have a clear Idea of what is NORMAL phenomenon in respect of Human society – so that we can clearly  recognize an abnormal phenomenon. Whatever is not normal need not necessarily be abnormal – but it can be super-normal – serving a much HIGHER HUMAN PURPOSE. If there is no such HIGHER HUMAN PURPOSE in a NON-NORMAL phenomenon, then, it must necessarily be considered abnormal, needing all possible efforts to bring it back to NORMAL.

Only, if the Society treats a phenomenon as abnormal can such a phenomenon be brought back to NORMAL. If an abnormality is also treated as Normal, apart from what is normally Normal, the abnormality can never be brought back to Normal.

Procreation is a NORMAL HUMAN PURPOSE. That, I feel, is beyond doubt and beyond question. It can be no Human Society’s intention to finish itself in this single generation itself – and leave the earth – all to animals, birds and insects. But, some countries are doing just that. If there is growth of population in those countries, it is only by immigration – and not by procreation. In some countries where LGBT phenomenon is high, the rates of procreation is so down that  population in those countries is said to be coming down in those countries – and all sorts of financial incentives are being offered for procreation, for an activity, which should actually be a hugely voluntary and enjoyable activity, if nature’s normal way prevails.

Probably Malthusian theory of Population is at work in those countries – albeit in Hitherto not understood ways. Malthus only thought that Nature will create floods, draughts, epidemics etc to reduce huge populations. He didn’t probably imagine that nature will make many people into LGBT – so that huge population growth in the country will be automatically brought under check. This could well be the truth – though, unsubstantiated by science; and probably incapable of experimental verification by science. Nature’s ways are too complicated in many respects for science to unravel easily.

LGBTs , at least some of them, claim that they are naturally born so – at Birth. This may be the case with some people. But definitely not with all LGBTs. Some people are converted into LGBTs by existing LGBTs, as I have seen it myself.

Almost 50 years back, when I was a boy of 15-16, I was traveling in a Local Train at Chennai,  just behind the Engine, in the first seat of the first Compartment of the train. The compartment had just 4-5 boys travelling in it. That’s all. It was a coal fired Engine in those days. The smell of coal was there all over. At each station, coal particles were emitted into all compartments.

At one station, one of the Drivers in the train came out of the Engine, and effortlessly jumped into the first compartment in which I was – and sat by my side. Within no time, he was opening my Pant buttons and putting his hand on my private parts. As a boy, I was too terrified to say or do anything at this sudden intrusion of my private parts. I did not know what he was doing and why – except that I felt it terribly wrong. The next station was within a few minutes and the Driver went back to the engine for doing his duties. Before he could come back – I jumped out on to the Plat form and ran as many compartments back as possible to be out of reach to him. I heard the Driver shouting from behind asking me to come back. It was a terrifying experience for me at that time.

I never ventured to sit in the first compartment thereafter for a long time. But, it was obvious that the Driver, a clear LGBT, was doing it all the time. He was in fact spreading his LGBT syndrome to many others. He must have been doing it at home and many other places, where he gets an unsuspecting victim.

Why I mention this is – two known Homosexuals, who know and accept each other, indulging in whatever they want with total consent, may perhaps be left to themselves. 

But, I strongly feel, that  some (probably many) LGBTs have a tendency to impart their syndrome to other unsuspecting victims and make them also eventually into LGBTs. In other words, it is not just  acquired by birth; but, it is also transmitted by existing LGBTs. I contest this claim that LGBTs are always so by Birth. No. some are turned into LGBTs later, by other LGBTs.

Therefore, I strongly appeal to the Society in general to ensure that this phenomenon is not treated as NORMAL. I am not saying that LGBTs must be treated unsympathetically – they can be given all the respect and assistance – that is needed , but, any exhibition of LGBT behavior in public must be discouraged. Also, any effort to indulge in their sexual behavior with strangers must be treated as CRIME. It is as bad as RAPE.

I do not know what the Supreme Court will say – But, based on my personal observation, this is what I propose I strongly feel, we cannot take the LGBTs version as final. There is need to ensure that normal heterosexuals are not turned into Homosexual behavior by existing Homosexuals. There is also need to see scientifically – why LGBTs are so – and see if they need any assistance. 

Like Drinks and Drugs, LGBT behavior could have been an acquired, habit-prone syndrome in many cases and may be Genetic also in some. Either way, there is no need to treat this as NORMAL, even if sexual behavior  between any two freely consenting LGBT Individuals  need not be treated as a crime.

11-Dec-2013 : Supreme Court Verdict :

The Supreme Court of India on 11-Dec-2013 (Wednesday) set aside the decision of the Delhi high court, which had in 2009 decriminalized sexual relation between persons belonging to same sex.

A bench consisting of justices G S Singhvi and S J Mukhopadhaya upheld the constitutional validity of Section 377 of Indian Penal Code that makes anal sex a punishable offense.





Parliament is authorized to remove Section 377, but as long as this provision is there, the court can not legalize this kind of sexual relationship, the SC bench observed.

"It is for the legislature to look into desirability of deleting section 377 of the IPC," the Supreme court said.

With the apex court verdict, the operation of penal provision against gay sex has come into force once again.



The Supreme Court passed the order on a batch of petitions of anti-gay right activists and social and religious organizations against the high court's verdict decriminalizing gay sex.

Section 377 (unnatural offenses) of IPC makes gay sex a criminal offense entailing punishment upto life imprisonment.

As some News says - The Centre had earlier informed the Supreme Court that there are an estimated 25 lakh gay people and about seven per cent (1.75 lakh) of them are HIV-infected.

From these statistics, it seems necessary to investigate - whether same Sex relations has an in-built danger of greater proliferation of HIV.

It is the Supreme Court's prerogative to test the constitutionality of the law and their verdict on homosexuality as an offense must be respected by the government, Law Minister Kapil Sibal said.

"It is the prerogative of the Supreme Court to judge the constitutionality and validity of the law. The opinion of the Supreme Court must be respected by the government. They have exercised their prerogative now, we shall exercise ours," Kapil Sibal told reporters outside parliament.




From all the developments on the issue - it seems that the  LAST WORD  is not said on the issue - Not as yet.
