JOIN USThe Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) appeared to do a U-turn on the issue of homosexuality a day after its top functionary said sexual preferences were an individual’s choice and homosexuality was not a crime.
RSS joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, who had signalled a big shift in the Sangh’s stand with his first statement, had to take to twitter to clarify that though homosexuality was not a crime, it was a socially immoral act.
“Homosexuality is not a crime, but socially immoral act in our society. No need to punish, but to be treated as a psychological case,” Dattatreya Hosabale tweeted on Friday.
“Gay marriage is institutionalization of homosexuality. It should be prohibited. Approach to homosexuality should be ‘no criminalisation; no glorification either’',” he tweeted in a series.
