Day 2 of hearing on #Section377. Some statements that sum up today:
How strongly must we love to withstand the terrible wrongs of Suresh Kumar Koushal - @MenakaGuruswamy 1/n
Right to choose your partner is a fundamental right, however in case of LGBTQ community, it’s not a matter of choice but it’s innate - Justice Chandrachud #Section377
2/n
So far as the constitutional validity Section 377 to the extent it applies to “consensual acts of adults in private” is concerned, the Union of India would leave the said question to the wisdom of this Hon’ble Court - Affidavit by Union of India. #Section377
Right to intimacy should be declared part of right to life....Technically #Section377 criminalises certain acts only but in its application, it is not used against consenting sexual acts between heterosexual adults but is used against #LGBT community - Shyam Divan
