I'm sure India has redeemed herself in the eyes of Christ when you consider that four years back a lower court in Delhi had decriminalized "sex against the order of nature" by scrapping Article 377.
This legal article was imposed on Indians during British rule, a natural outcome of Victorian morality and Christian beliefs. Clearly, the Brits have long ended their association with Biblical laws as homosexuality is widely practiced in the United Kingdom.
However, the law managed to stay in the statute books of India long after the Brits left this country.
For the homosexuals of India, their joy knew no bounds when the provision against anal Sin got blessings of the State. However, clearly many Indians have strong family values which means this law was bound to be challenged in a higher court. Indeed, after a lot of debate and deliberation, the Supreme Court of India finally set things in order by overturning this hideous judgement.

Chetan Bhagat: What?! Consensual gay sex ruled illegal in 2014? Shows you how badly India needs new young leaders with a modern outlook.
Vir Das: Today is 11.12.13. Unless you work in our Supreme Court, in which case it's the year 1826.
Siddharth: People have the right to sexuality. The SC has pushed us back to the Victorian, colonial era by upholding #377 & criminalising homosexuality.
Bodhi Cat: Yes yes, dear homophobes (closeted or otherwise), you can do your victory dance. But this isn't over just yet.
Anushka Sharma: So disappointed with the SC verdict . Freedom is such a deceptive term . Rights are an ambiguous mystery #scrap377
Anshul Tewari: Let's not rule marital rape as criminal, but let's rule consensual sex between two adults as criminal!
Nikhil Chinapa: A giant leap backwards to the dark ages.
Brown Sahiba: Hail progressive India. Homosexuality criminalised. I have nothing to say for once.

Silly sodomites and their media handlers. Clearly, none of them has ever read the Bible.
"
If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense." Leviticus 20:13
