Apparently the Indian Supreme Court will hear the challenge to the reading down Article 377 tomorrow on the 30th of Sept. It seems to have clubbed several petitions together and hearing them at the same time. According to the Daily Cause list, it will be held in the court of the Chief Justice himself. The name of the main petitioner is a chappy called Bhim Singh who is the head of (wait for it) – The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPT)!
Good ol Bhim seems to be upset since he feels that “just two judges” cannot change “his law.” But wait! He’s not gay is he? Apparently not. So it’s not “his law”. Neither does he seem to give any value to “his” constitution which promises equality of all including homosexuals. He rattles off the bromides with considerable expertise. “Cultural invasion”, “Against Indian Culture”, “Not be tolerated” etc. ad nauseam.
I really hope the SC puts paid to this issue once and for all – but it feels good doesn’t it? I can almost feel myself drooling as the SC dismisses the challenge. I just wish I could be there to see the unfortunate Bhim’s face.
