Indian Court Overturns Gay Sex Ban

For anyone interested in gay rights for South Asians: Indian Court Overturns Gay Sex Ban

Bangladesh, as a Muslim country, will have different views on homosexuality.  I am mainly interested because homosexuality in many cases is tied to gender roles, and the views of women.  I am eager to see the comparisons if there are any.

What was interesting is this comment:
“This is wrong,” said Maulana Abdul Khaliq Madrasi, a vice chancellor of Dar ul-Uloom, the main university for Islamic education in India. The decision bring Western culture to India, he said, will “corrupt Indian boys and girls.”
Homosexuality as western culture - what do you think of that?
