Gay Double Murder Shocks India

quote:

(New Delhi) The slayings of two young men whose bodies were found in a home in an affluent New Delhi neighborhood has both shocked and titillated India where most gays are underground and where crimes against gays often go unreported

These murders are just the tip of the iceburg in India sadly.

However, I think the most important portion of this story is, unfortunately, buried at the very end:

quote:

The murders have put a media spotlight on India's gay community. As gays fight to have laws against sodomy, dating back to British colonial rule, repealed, many people in the community say lurid media reports are only harming that effort.
