Indian Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss again reiterated his opposition to the nation's ban on gay sex. Said the politico: "Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which criminalizes men who have sex with men, must go. I want to do away with it to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS… We need to accept it as a problem as the provision is preventing our work to control, curb and reverse the AIDS situation." [Thaindian]
