India Health Minister:Homosexuality Is a Disease; Says It Is Unnatural, Comes from Other Countries

India's health minister has sparked a furious row over comments in which he described homosexuality as "a disease." the BBC website reports today (July 5, 2011).

Ghulam Nabi Azad told a conference on HIV/Aids that gay sex was "unnatural."

Gay sex was decriminalized in India in a landmark judgment in 2009, but anti-homosexual discrimination remains widespread.

Azad told the meeting in Delhi on July 4 that homosexuality "is a disease which has come from other countries."
