I see many comments here that homosexuality is a 'western' trend. IN FACT, it is the opposition to homosexuality that we see on this forum that is mimicking the west! The abrahamic religions have always had anti-homosexual laws but hinduism does not have ANY such thing in the scriptures. I will challenge ANYONE arguing that homosexuality is western to point out one vedic verse criticizing one's sexuality. One step further, the Kamasutra contains specific sections for gay couples! All this homophobia is a western import - Indian tradition has always been open to people's lifestyles.

Ur partially wrong..they r supporting it a big way by giving gay rights..all the western countries are allowing gay marriages..which is completely psycho and unacceptable..but their holy scriptures say otherwise which they don't want ot follow becos they believe in Satanic way of life. Its Satanic and anti-God..against the rules of nature. It's a disease and needs to be cured..not justified by whatsoever logic.I can only pray to God that the people who r suffering form this disease gets cured asap.

Chakraborty does not sound like a muslim or christian name. So point out ANY vedic verse or hindu scriptural doctrine that says that homosexuality is a disease and that it is anti-God.
