Indian Supreme Court to Reconsider Criminalization of Homosexuality

The court reinstated a colonial-era ban in 2013, resulting in widespread state-sponsored persecution of gay men.

Today, India's Supreme Court announced that it would reopen hearings into the criminalization of homosexuality.

Buzzfeed reports that only three such petitions have been successful since the procedure's inception in 2002.
