A website has been set up by a group calling themselves 'the Majority' has a set up a website to counter another online campaign that has been calling for the repeal of Section 377A of the Penal Code, which states that it is illegal for men to have sex with another man. Some of those who signed the petition for the website has listed several reasons against the repealing of Section 377A, including the argument that the majority of the population will see homosexuality as weird or against traditional family values, or that the government should not bend to the will of what other nations are doing.

However, either the source has failed to provide with more valid reasons, or that it was absent tin the website itself, the reasons gave against the repealing of Section 377A are weak and off the point. If the website believes that homosexuality should remain illegal, they must give stronger points to counter those of the gay rights movement. For example, legalizing homosexualities will cause potentially disturbing environments to infants or young children, and affect their mental consitution as they grow up. If the website wants to make a lasting impact, stronger evidence and arguments must be used, in order to completely sway the public towards their idea.

Perhapes if the websites' designers had taken more time to decide on their next move, instead of providing a seemingly neck-jerk reaction to the movement, more convincing arguments could have been put forth. As it is, their motives can be questioned. If they don't mind ' What the gay community does in private is their private space', then why should they bother about the repealing of the Section?
