Its not just Russia that needs pink visitors

India's Supreme Court has refused to review its controversial decision to reinstate a 153-year-old law that criminalises homosexuality.

Judges dismissed petitions from the government and rights activists who say the order was wrong.

The Supreme Court judgement last month overturned a landmark 2009 Delhi High Court ruling decriminalising gay sex. ...

Given the soaring population in India, and a significant shortage of women relative to men (due to the Indians' habit of aborting females or killing them at birth), that must be one of the stupidest decisions ever.

Also, I wonder how they propose to square the decision with the hundreds of thousands if not millions of eunuchs and TSs throughout India, who openly cruise the streets for punters, and are pretty strident these days in their demands for recognition and freedom from persecution.

Yeah that was embarrassing. But al least they played the clip. It is a progress in the right direction I suppose.

Indian ICTs are here to help inadequately uneducated UK, says the rhetoric. They are doing UK the favour.

It's true. Their thickos make ours look quite sharp in comparison.

Oddly enough Russian slang for a 'gay' is a 'blue' (or 'light blue' more accurately, different words for light blue and dark blue...)

I remember the even-more-anti-gay Communist Party slogan on their posters from about ten years ago was 'Better Red than Blue'
