In most of the villages people can't accept intercaste Marriage and they are talking about same sex marriage😂

[Mohitkumar-evhe]

The very basic understanding is that not everyone is queer or want to do same sex marriage.There is only a few people in our society and if their rights are respected nothing wrong will happen to rest others. No srushti will come under harm if some people don't produce kids

The same people have no problem when a 65 year old man marries a 18 year old girl

lol at that uncle using the "it's a western concept" argument while wearing a shirt that says "EVOLUTION: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"😭😭

[rohan]

Jaiveer Singh, the middle aged retired army personnel, is surprisingly liberal... Kudos to him ❤❤

People talking about nature.
It's that same nature that made them the way they're feeling.
If it is natural, why are we opposing nature

[Vicky-flpv]

To be honest I am kinda happy to see that at least there are some people from older generations that are open minded about it. It's not all darkness.

2:40 man says it’s like copying from western culture, while wearing a US shirt and flag!! Irony.. Making same sex relation a taboo was also established by Britishers.

Though i support same-sex marriage but i think asking such questions to these people is irrelevant because the argument ends once faith/god comes in. It would be better to ask those who know about LGBTQ and how things work so they may answer without bringing their faith/beliefs into it.

[sanora]

I was just shocked that some men are open minded and supporting i just expected otherwise

[AnishDebnath]

Can't understand one thing, why even taking views of straight people for giving rights to LGBT people? It's like, asking the British, should India be given freedom.

[torrentking]

I am from Rohtak and I respect the rights of all!

The man who said that homosexuality was not prevalent in ancient India is so ignorant
Hinduism is probably the only religion, that had no problem with the lgbtq community….its literally not a sin to be homosexual in India

[SaiAbitathaDUCIC]

What should be the ideal conclusion of this case : No, same-sex marriages cannot be included in the Special Marriage Act, as it has provisions where the terms 'wife' and 'husband' have a lot of significance. However, a new law can be enacted which provides same-sex couples the rights they need and deserve, like rights relating to property, insurance, adoption, etc.

Konark temples khajuraho temple Puri temple.... har jag different sexuality ko show Kia gya hai...two men having sex with a woman...two woman having sex with man...two men having sex...two female having sex...ussey bhi kanhi jyada...who bhi temple mein ..agar yeh cheez galat hoti toh temple bhi nahi hotey aur uska virodh bhi hota ..hinduo ne kabhi virodh nhi Kia...sab Christian and Islam are virodhis!!..jisne 50% se jada tabah Kia mandiro ko..

[billiieeilish]

They are talking about how next generations will be formed but they dont see how india's population just crossed china's and due to this there is more poverty more unemployment more competition on students in exams which ultimately mentally affect the society but legalization of same gender marraige dont cause anything to society....and if same sex parents want to grow there family they can adopt aswell....all this is my opinoin u can keep ur opinion by replying me....

[joanmanuel]

Look at Jaiveer Singh. Even being a senior citizen, he understands what basic rights are. Then comes Ankit, the farmer, who doesn't know what they are. Maybe his circumstances have not taught him enough.

villagers ka pov lene ke liye haryana hi mila tha kya?

[cyrilmatthew]

People have the right to live ... I'd they are born homosexual ... Let them live normally...what's the fuss in that... This is one the greatest laws passed by govt of india

[qsmimhmm]

Uncle needs to be reminded that, choices of adults that look for love in the same sex isn't same as stealing, on offence that actually harms somebody. Even the choice is of the offender, it doesn't equal to the choice of human that choses to love authentically
