Tit for tat?
A senior member of India’s main opposition party said India should arrest gay partners of US diplomats living in India.
“My suggestion to the government of India is, the media has reported that we have issued visas to a number of US diplomats’ companions. Companions means that they are of the same sex,” Yashwant Sinha of the Bharatiya Janata Party told reporters.
He added: “Now, after the Supreme Court ruling, it is completely illegal in our country. Just as paying less wages was illegal in the US. So, why doesn’t the government of India go ahead and arrest all of them?”
Sure seems like there were much better ways to handle this situation if the Obama administration wasn’t so tone deaf.
