Thank you to all of you who have been signing and sharing this petition! Our #Repeal377 petition has reached 350+ signatures with tremendous solidarity! Today marks 70 years of Indian Independence and the partition, so would like to share a poem "Through Love's Great Power" by Vikram Seth, which highlights the hypocrisy of Section 377, written following the Supreme Court verdict in 2013. Through Love's Great Power Through love's great power to be made whole In mind and body, heart and soul - Through freedom to find joy, or be By dint of joy itself set free In love and in companionhood: This is the true and natural good. To undo justice, and to seek To quash the rights that guard the weak - To sneer at love, and wrench apart The bonds of body, mind and heart With specious reason and no rhyme: This is the true unnatural crime. If you would like to write your own message directly to the Prime Minister of India, it is possible to contact him via his website (and scrolling to “Write to the Prime Minister”). More information including a pdf of our letter/petition can be found on our website (Letter to Modi). Happy Independence Day!
