We, the "normal" people may feel abhorrence towards the "perverts" but will it make the latter criminals? Late Justice Leila Seth said that Section 377 had made her son (eminent writer Vikram Seth) a criminal though he had not harmed anyone. Alan Turing (who broke the German code Enigma and thus helped the Allies win the WW II),Oscar Wilde, E.M.Forster, Noel Coward were all "gays". They all suffered and England finally stopped criminal prosecution of gays.
