20 IITians move SC against law making homosexuality a crime
A group of 20 students and alumni of IITs across India have moved the Supreme Court against Section 377, which criminalises homosexuality, on behalf of over 350 LGBT alumni, students, faculty and staff from the institution. Alleging that the section is against the Constitution, the petitioners claimed that the "stigma, silence and violence" accompanying it has made them "suicidal".
