Homos are genetically handicapped: BJP's Subramanian Swamy

[SarthakGanguly]

Shortly after Union Law Minister Sadananda Gowda reportedly hinted - and soon denied - scrapping the controversial Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalises homosexuality, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday said "homos" are genetically handicapped and claimed it to be the party line.

"I think the law minister was misquoted. Our party position has been that homosexuality is a genetic disorder," Swamy told ANI. That prompted a Twitter user, Hocus @GentleGawker, to ask: "@Swamy39 Sir, better word is genetic variation. Nothing wrong. Just like tall and short. They deserve all respect."

The controversial BJP leader's reply: "@GentleGawker : Issue is not respect. We respect handicapped persons. Homos are genetically handicapped."

Earlier, Gowda was reported to have said that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government was considering scrapping Section 377, which has been a longstanding demand by the LGBT activists in the country. But he soon denied making the statement, claiming he was misquoted.

"It is totally misquoted. When I was asked about the judgment that was given by the US court, I said that it is not an easy task in our country. So, the people of that country might have accepted it but here it has to be widely debated. Only then can something be done. Otherwise, it is not an easy task. So, we have no idea of scrapping or doing anything about (Section) 377," Gowda said.

"Of course, there was a debate with regards to the transgender issue on the floor of the House in the Rajya Sabha. That has been discussed and debated. Nothing else was said," the Law Minister added.

In 2013, the Supreme Court had overturned a Delhi High Court verdict that effectively scrapped Section 377, sparking massive protests by gay rights activists. Following the uproar, the apex court put the onus on the government, saying it is free to bring a legislation to scrap the section.

Unfortunate but true.

It is nearly impossible for them to procreate. I hope our society becomes for open to them. If Swamy with his legal strength is able to ameliorate their condition, it will be good.

Homosexuality is a natural phenomenon. Thats a scientific fact. It has been observed in hundreds of species, including us: Homo sapiens.

True.

Now if only swamy's father had been a homosexual we would not have had to deal with this idiot.

Reported for Homophobic attack.

Truth is Homos are unnatural nor can they have offspring naturally,if it was natural as what faggot supporters here say,then Nature would have given them a uterus and a vagina along with a Pe*nis.

Are you insane.Homosexuality is not disease but preference, every one has right for his or her choice.

It is not even a preference. It is just a natural state. There is no deliberate preferring left to do.

Agree to that, we need decriminalize being gays or lesbians, this will have positive impact on the society

Preference indicate a Choice.

Totally. The British stupid Victorian anti homosexuality laws must go. Entirely.

He did not say that. Read what he said. They are naturally incapable of reproducing, a natural disadvantage. Don't get carried away by the headline. The content is there for a reason.

Natural Phenomenon? you are giving examples of animals to humans,Do you realise we don't share the same DNA as a dog or closest primates.
If it was natural then Perhaps the Homo animals might have made homo societies in animal kingdom.
if it was natural,then nature would have given them organs like Tape worm which can impregnate itself and produce more copies of itself.
Alas,but Homos dont have Vagina,Uterus,and ovaries along with Penis to give birth to offspring naturally.So that is definitely unnatural.

Do you even read your own comments or is your knowledge on biology really this bad?

The point was that homosexuality is not natural which is absolute BS and a well established scientific fact.

And FYI: Humans are animals. We are part of the animal kingdom unless you are some sort of alien.

This is high school stuff... shame on your teachers.

A Fictional story based on Tipu Sultan does not make it any more real than a Fiction story based on Jodha Akbar or a Fictional story based on an aligarh professor.

In any case it has nothing to do with the thread or discussion.



You suffer from "Stupidity". Its also a "natural phenomena" that occurs due to poor brain interconnectivity due to poor genetic material. Very much like homosexuality, and hopefully with a similar end result i.e. inability to further your species.

And like all other "Natural" handicap it limits your ability considerably.

Explaining even simple scientific facts to you, is like explaining Relativity to a 5 year old. Its a waste of time.

Give this reality, spare me your insightss into "science and homosexuality" ..... I have a very low tolerance to Fools. and you are among the bigger ones here.

The fact that you could not contest a single point is the prime example how pathetic your knowledge is. Your homophobia and ignorance is simply astonishing

You sound like every other moron (Like fundamentalist Christians) who have no clue whatsoever ...
