麻豆社 Minute: On India legalising gay sex
India's Supreme Court has ruled that gay sex is no longer a criminal offence in the country.
The landmark verdict overturns a 2013 judgement which upheld a colonial-era law - known as Section 377 - which categorises gay sex as an "unnatural offence".
麻豆社 Minute finds out what the decision means to Dhrubo Jyoti, a gay Indian who works as a journalist covering gender, sexuality, and politics.
