Section 377 Verdict: After Karan Johar's Celebratory Tweet, Twitterati SLAMS Him For Promoting Gay Stereotypes in His Own Movies

Supreme Court today made a landmark decision that will be hailed by many who root for a free, democratic society for years ahead. The bench, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra, had neutralised the draconian Section 377 law that criminalised gay or unnatural sex. The court, while delivering their decision said, "Consensual sex between adults in a private space, which is not harmful to women or children, cannot be denied as it is a matter of individual choice. Section 377 results in discrimination and is violative of constitutional principles." This decision was met with cheers from many on social media. That is, except those with a homophobic nature.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Section 377 Verdict Full Text: Read Complete Supreme Court Judgment on Decriminalising Homosexuality.

But there were others who slammed the director for a completely different reason. They admonished him for슬롯 머신 사이트 추천showing the LGBT community in poor light by using gay caricatures for comedic purposes in the past. Some of the films that get the blame were Kal Ho Naa Ho, Dostana, and Student of the Year.

Consider this tweet an appeal from me now for better portrayal of the queer community in popular cinema so that generations growing up watching them develop empathy early on.

To be fair to Karan Johar, he also produced슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Kapoor & Sons that had one of the best portrayals of a homosexual individual in Hindi Cinema, played by Fawad Khan. It also took some time for Karan Johar to himself be open about his own sexuality, so let's give him a break here!
