Delhi: gay relations decriminalized. Put India on my travel map?

I had many opportunities to travel to India but never did because of the illegality of gay sex, which would be part of my travel experience.

While the recent announcement is positive (thread on the subject in OMNI PR) I am not sure you will see much visible change in the near future....

I sincerely doubt you will see saunas being opened any time soon...
