Homosexuality decriminalised in India

Yes, I know, I'm cluster posting. But this:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/02/homosexuality-decriminalised-delhi-india

is excellent news.

Edited to add: Also, the plans to privatise the Post Office have been shelved.

Yep, I gave a little cheer too when I saw the news from India. The embarrassing part about it is that the law repealed was a relic of the colonial era. It's my impression that before then Indian cultures weren't too fazed about homosexuality.
