This is one of the most confusing stories I’ve read.

They did repeated cavity searches because the woman underpaid and mistreated her housekeeper?

What in the world do homosexual partners of Americans have to do with anything? Why would they arrest them for something that is legal over there?

Do they know the US won’t protect its embassy? They can fire bomb it and hit it with mortars. Just give Obama a YouTube video to blame.

It is typical treatment of someone going to jail so they don’t smuggle anything into the jail.

Homosexuality is Criminal Again as India’s Top Court Reinstates Ban

In a huge blow to gay rights in the world’s largest democracy, India’s top court on Tuesday reinstated an archaic law that makes gay sex a criminal offense on grounds that it can only be dismissed by lawmakers in government.

In a surprise move, India’s top court on Wednesday reversed a landmark judgment by a lower court decriminalizing homosexuality in the country. The court said that the law regarding homosexuality could only be changed by the government. “The legislature must consider deleting this provision (Section 377) from law as per the recommendations of the attorney general,” Justice GS Singhvi, the head of the two-judge Supreme Court bench said in Wednesday’s ruling.

Stunned LGBT activists, who have campaigned for decades for acceptance in India’s deeply conservative society, called the decision “retrograde, regressive and revolting.”
