Christian Right in India Tells Supreme Court that Gay Sex Will Destry Marriage

The Supreme Court on Monday sought a response from government on petitions filed by a Christian body and a disciple of Yoga guru Ramdev seeking a stay on the Delhi High Court verdict legalising gay sex on the ground it will have a catastrohic effect on the society's moral fabric. The apex court's order issuing a notice to the Centre came after the advocates for Christian Apostolic Churches Alliance, an umbrella of 22 churches in the national capital and S K Tijarawala, a disciple of Ramdev, filed separate petitions challenging the HC verdict on the ground that it will have a catastrophic effect on moral fabric of society. Before tagging their petitions with the another bunch of similar petitions challenging the judgement, a Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice P Sathasivam wanted to know from the two petitioners what adverse consequences they foresaw on society if the High Court verdict became operational. "What consequences are you talking about?" the Bench said.  The lawyer representing Tejarwala said "there is a likelyhood of destruction of matrimonial household". Full Story from Xeenews
