A court in India decriminalized same gender sex, only if is consensual, same gender sex is usually forbidden and can lead up to ten years in prison, this ruling is only effective in New Delhi according the the penal code 377. But if is not consensual it will still be considered a crime.
This shows that India is getting into the new era, considering that this country is very conservative due to it's religion. It is following U.S.A. and other countries steps about gay rights.
Various religious groups in India manifested they oppose to this ruling and any move or law to legalize same sex gender.
Curiously this happens a couple days after the Gay Pride Parade in different cities of United States.
Here I give you a video from the gay parade NYC 2009:
