Anti-gay rights groups, challenging legalisation of gay sex, were on Wednesday asked by the Supreme Court to explain how such acts are against the order of nature as submitted by them.
Abench of justices G S Singhvi and S J Mukhopadhaya said that the interpretation of constitution has changed over the last sixty years and the issue has to be seen in that light.
“What is homosexuality? Who is the expert to explain order of nature,” the bench observed when the senior advocate Amrendra Saran submitted that nature does not recognise homosexuality and lesbianism which are against its order. “Are surrogate mothers and test tube baby also against the order of the nature,” the bench observed .
The apex court was hearing petitions filed by anti-gay rights activists and also by political, social and religious organisations which have opposed the Delhi High Court verdict decriminalising homosexual behaviour.
