The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has passed a resolution condemning the death penalty as punishment for ‘specific forms of conduct’, including same-sex relations. India, along with the US, and eleven other countries, voted against the resolution.

Does India’s decision to go against the resolution make it guilty of supporting death penalty for homosexuals? A Reddit thread discussed and debated. The answers clearly showed how divided netizens were on the matter.

There were counters of course.

But did India pull an ‘us too’ and followed the US’ footstep?
