Section 377 was repealed today by the Indian law. Thereby, granting freedom for every Indian citizen to choose her/ his sexuality. Today is a celebration of sorts - after a long grueling battle with the law, we now need to look at other aspects of homosexual and alternative sexuality.
We are now free from arrests, assaults and abuses. Will this freedom translate into the freedom to live peacefully? Will we stop socially assaulting people for their choices? Will violence in gay and lesbian relationships decrease?
A step is taken; a ladder is yet to be built. We need to use this freedom to make the world around us a better place to live.
