But, that's not the case as I found out when I read this.
While the homosexuals in India have welcomed Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss' statement seeking the removal of provisions in Section 377of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that classifies sex between two men as a criminal offence, they do not want the repeal of the section to protect the boy child from abuse.I must say that I don't really see the point of the headline. Of course, I know that those who commented on the topic like Nitin didn't have a choice with the headline at least. But, isn't it weird? I mean, we sound like we are actually fighting against what we are fighting for?
On second thoughts, I felt that most people who are interested in this topic would be reading it because of the headline. And those who condemn homosexuality might even realize that we have hearts and souls and we care for others, something which they obviously overlook when they say nasty things about us. What do you think?

Now I see what is TOI...thanks ! Finally, I understand.
I really don't know how to take it when they say - they do not want the repeal of the section to protect the boy child from abuse.
Are they implying that they are surprised by the fact the sodomites (gay people) don't want to take off the boy child sex because they think homosexuality and pedophilia are the same ?
I really didn't understand it clearly.
I really don't know why people tend to put 'homosexuality' and 'pedophilia' in the same bag.
According to the statistics, in the pedophilia world, it is more girls who are abused than boys...maybe we should put that on table and make them realize that it is not the same...

Prash says to these homophobes: Hence, go educate youself !
I think what they mean is that Section 377 also attends to the child abuse thing. The gays want discrimination against them to be taken off. Not the child abuse thing.
If it's confusing for us gays, then I don't expect the aam janta to be clear-eyed about this.
Kris,
I dunno any abt the section 377 so i wud be of naught value :( :(
thou' I do think classifyin it as criminal offense ridikulous!!
As fer ur last line..
Of course ye'll care fer others well..!some may not...!
One way or the other! ye definitely dont havta explain yerself to ne-one :) :)
From Smoking to Smacking, Ramadoss surely won some plus points...
Coming to 377, I guess it has got nothing to do with child abuse per se. Correct me if I am wrong.
Scooting to the couple of links you provided...
@ mystiqe: He hehe. I agree.
@ Oxymoronic: I'm not really sure. It is for all forms of unnatural sexual acts I guess. Go give the TOI pages some traffic! ;)
