‘No Better Date’: The Best of 6/9 Tweets Post Section 377 Verdict

“If this isn’t poetic justice then what is?” ask netizens.

Consensual acts between same-sex individuals are now legal after the Supreme Court read down the colonial-era Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. The historic verdict was declared on 6 September, 2018, that is, 6/9.

Twitterati couldn’t help but notice the happy coincidence between the judgement and the date of the judgement.

‘If This Isn’t Poetic Justice, Then What Is?’

Here’s a compilation of the some of the best 6/9 tweets post the Section 377 verdict.

Our Supreme Court judges must have looked through their calendars and said, "hmm 6/9. Yeah, that's a good day to issue the judgment on the 377 case."

On potentially my last night as a criminal subject, I applaud the visionary judges of the Supreme Court in choosing 6/9 as the date to decriminalize carnal intercourse against the order of nature. There’s your roadmap people. #Section377
