LGBT demands discussion in Parliament on Section 377

New Delhi, Nov. 29 : The LGBT community on Sunday demanded a discussion in the Parliament on Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), saying it should be dismissed. “Section 377 must be discussed in the Parliament. It should not be considered on morality value, but as a human and constitutional right. Section 377 should be dismissed,” Transgender rights activist Laxmi Tripathi told ANI.”If Jaitley ji has said that the matter should go up to the Supreme Court and the court should decide this…the court has said the Parliament should see to it. The government and the court should not play this ball game with our society and with people’s freedom and democracy,” Tripathi added. Echoing similar sentiments, another member of the LGBT community said that the section must be reviewed and the government should look into the matter.
