MiD DAY quizzes Bangaloreans on Section 377 to find out just what they've gleaned from all the media frenzy surrounding the recent court decision

What is your understanding of the Delhi High Court ruling on Section 377?
Bijita Gosh: I think it's about time that people start considering things from others' point of view too. It's a good thing the government has done in bringing this to light and solving it.
Abishek Pradhan: The government is just doing its job by giving these people freedom of choice and independence. I personally appreciate it.
Aditya Sharma: I think it's bizarre that a country like India, overflowing with different cultures, would actually give consent to gay people to get together. I feel happy, really happy hearing this news. I think we are on our way to a content world.

Does it now mean that gay couples can marry?
Bijita: When they have the right, I think there shouldn't be any complications. It's just like a man marrying a woman, except here it's man and man. Bottom line: the answer is a YES!
Abishek: Obviously, yes.u00a0 I don't know about the production of the children, but yes, they have the right to do it now.
Aditya: To see into this matter is extreme, because the family plays a very important role. If the family is up for it and the couple is really happy, I think there shouldn't be any hitch.
