Lettter to newspaper on 'homosexuality'

An Indian Christian in a letter to the editor of a Delhi newspaper article claiming homosexuality (sic) is natural

Natural, Unnatural

THIS REFERS to the editorial Talk about an unnatural law (January 17). How can you claim that 'natural law' is a product of culture and time? Is the fact that a woman can conceive and a man can't a matter of convention based on culture and time? That is a natural law and has come into force not because of what the British enacted in 1862.

Homosexuality is a serious moral problem and has added to the menace of Aids. There is need to be understanding, without being paternalistic and moralising, of those caught in this web of behaviour.
