Thousands of people rallied in India on Sunday in protest of a renewed ban on homosexual sex. The ban was first struck down four years ago, but reinstated last week after India’s Supreme Court upheld a section of the penal code dating back to 1860. Protests were held in cities across the country.

Protester: “We are all here today, all the minority, as well as the mainstream population of Calcutta. Everyone has joined hands to stand for human rights and to stand against Section 377, which is absolutely against human rights in all respect.”
