India’s Supreme Court Criminalizes Homosexuality, Twitter Users Angrily React

Striking a huge blow to gay rights, India’s Supreme Court overturned a 2009 Delhi High Court ruling that decriminalized homosexuality. According to NDTV, the ruling “means gay sex between consenting adults stays a criminal offence under Section 377, a British colonial era law banning “carnal intercourse against the order of nature”, which had been struck down by the high court.”

Many of India’s Twitter users angrily lashed out against the decision on Wednesday. A sampling is below.
