I think it is reading too much into a judgment, which merely is an interpretation by a bench. The IPC section still stands unamended and courts do not criminalise or decriminalise; legislature does.

Nice. One just hopes for a time when people can stay in India and be who they really are, instead of seeking refuge elsewhere – I’m glad that there are signs of progress, however feeble they might still be.

As society progresses, our notions of right and wrong change. What was unthinkable in the past becomes debatable, and is finally accepted as mainstream. I acknowledge your point that the judgment itself has no notion of morality. But it has triggered a public debate, which has everything to do with morality — a little foot in the door, but progress still.
