TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy feels section 377 of Indian penal code (IPC) should stay as homosexuals who “flaunt” their sexual orientation need to be punished.
“As long as they don’t celebrate it, don’t flaunt it, don’t create gay bars to select partners it’s not a problem,” said Swamy. The Rajya Sabha MP put a condition before homosexuals seeking privacy.
Swamy wants LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community to do whatever they want to do “in privacy” and not “celebrate” their sexuality.
Swamy has always been vocal about his views on homosexuality. He has been a staunch supporter of Section 377 of IPC, which criminalizes homosexuality. In 2015, the 78-year-old Swamy had called homosexuality a “genetic flaw”.
“In their privacy what they do, nobody can invade but if you flaunt it, it has to be punished & therefore there has to be #Section377 of the IPC,” added Swamy.
