Twitter reaction: Disappointment over SC’s ‘gay sex illegal’ order

The Supreme Court set aside the Delhi High Court order which had decriminalised gay sex between two consenting adults. The SC verdict triggered extreme reactions on Twitter. Here are a few of the reactions.

So disappointed with the SC verdict . Freedom is such a deceptive term . Rights are an ambiguous mystery #scrap377

Just as shameful as the SC judgement is the deafening silence of politicians of all parties. The march of illiberalism continues in India.

Sex between consenting same sex adults in private is criminalised but marital rape isn't. #Sec377 #SupremeCourt #LGBTrights
