Actress Celina Jaitley is very much happy today as she succeeded in her fight over providing human rights to the gay community in India. The Delhi High Court made a decision which completely decriminalized Section 377.

According to Section 377 homosexuality was crime in India. It was illegal and there was no respect for such people in our cultural Indian society. Many people came forward to help these minorities and Celina was one of them.

Feeling like this victory is not just her own but the victory of human rights, Celina says, “July 2, was a historical day, it will become a landmark in the cultural revolution of India, for the country turned homosexual… and I, with tears in my eyes and an ecstatic heart, am proud to say that homosexuality is no longer illegal and has been decriminalized.”

The excited and merrily Celina later added, “All my friends of the LGBT community will now lead a protected life and walk with their heads held high. It’s a victory of common sense over unreasoning prejudice. A lot of gays will be encouraged to come out of the closet and meet each other in safer environments instead of secretly and quickly meeting in places where it’s hard to have safe sex. As a result, it will help in fighting against the growing HIV AIDS epidemic. Authorities won’t harass and blackmail anymore….”

Celina also thanks people who helped her in this campaign. “God, my family, my gay friends and the immense support of The Times of India has made gay rights awareness possible. Kudos to Times for standing up against all odds and giving me a platform for such a non-diplomatic cause. This has proved that the media is for the people, of the people and by the people. I received over one lakh messages from all over the world. God knows how people got my number, but this fight has been for all my beloved friends and it was worth so much the effort,” said Celina.

The actress knew that even if it has given legal acceptance, social acceptance will be the next hurdle to this. But she is happy that she took first step to it and promises that her fight for human rights will continue like this.

After the judicial decision by Delhi HC, gay pride parades takes place in various big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Bhubaneswa.
