Actor John Abraham tweeted: “India has harbored archaic prejudices once again… The Supreme Court has criminalized homosexuality… Shame.”

Filmmaker Onir, who has been vocal about gay rights, said it was a sad day for Indian democracy. “I am angry by the SC ruling on IPC 377. Very very disappointed that the bench of the Supreme Court hold us to regressive colonial 153-year-old IPC 377. A dark day for the history of judiciary and human rights in India,” Onir said.

Actor-director Farhan Akhtar tweeted: “The Supreme Court got it wrong today. Sec377.”

Director Karan Johar tweeted: “Sec377 is not just a violation of human rights but also makes democracy seem like a mirage in our country. “For all those who think that this judgment gives them a right to talk about their self appointed machoism… GET A LIFE!!!,” Johar added.

Celina Jaitly, another celebrity who has been vocal about her support to LGBT community, said the verdict was a betrayal of trust. “377 is in contradiction of three major fundamental rights: Article 14, 15, 21.

Actor Kabir Bedi said the judgment failed to uphold democratic human rights. “It’s a sad day when the Supreme Court of India does not uphold the democratic rights of sexual minorities. The State should stay out of the bedrooms of consenting adults. SC upholding regressive law seems bigoted.”

Dia Mirza: “I am ashamed. 377 there is nothing more frightening than the revelation that the guardians of democracy have turned undemocratic.”

Anushka Sharma wrote: “So disappointed with the SC verdict. Freedom is such a deceptive term. Rights are an ambiguous mystery scrap377.”
