First thoughts are that finally, someone is at least willing to go beyond the taboo. It may not be a major achievement in itself, but it is a start.
I'm confident that sodomy laws are something India inherited from the original British Constitution. Unfortunately a more updated set of human rights propogated by the UN have never been totally digested by India. From first hand experience I can vouch that there is wide spread homophobia in India.
Its time to move on and be open minded. I'm puzzled by the societal conservatism of a group of people who could fathom such a thing as Kamasutra or the sculptures of Ajanta/Ellora in the days gone by.
Influence is not a bad thing. The onus is open the peoples to take what's good and leave what's not so much. Nothing that has the potential to discriminate is good.
