Aamir, John Abraham, Onir speak up for gay rights

‘I am most disappointed with this judgement. It feels very intolerant and violative of basic human rights. It's a shame,’ Aamir said in a statement.

Section 377 of the IPC holds that a same gender sexual relationship is against the order of nature and is an offence.

My Brother…Nikhil director Onir expressed his views on his Twitter handle.

He wrote Wednesday: ‘A dark day in the history of judiciary and human rights in India. I am angry by the Supreme Court ruling on IPC 377.’

Actor-producer John Abraham, who acted as a cross-dresser in Vishal Bhardwaj's 7 Khoon Maaf, is also disappointed by the decision.

‘India has harboured archaic prejudices once again. The Supreme Court has criminalised homosexuality,’ John tweeted post the judgement.
