GROSS INDECENCY  Back in September many Western leaders, Human Rights advocates, and Indian LGBT citizens celebrated the decriminalization of gay sex on the sub-continent.

India was lauded for  adopting Western ideals of liberalism.

But noted historian Harbans Mukhia says one has to know India’s history to understand that anti-LGBT sentiment and laws outlawing homosexuality and that made it a criminal act came from the British.  “The British brought their own rules to India, including Section 377 which banned homosexuality and made it a criminal act. This law was enforced by them but it didn’t conform with India’s attitude toward homosexuality. It was more to do with their Christian belief systems,” he said.

Mukhia added that the court’s decision has taken India back to its traditional roots and values.

BOLDY BINGE WATCH If you missed the first season of the phenomenal Star Trek: Discovery last year, now’s your chance to binge it before season two debuts January 17.

Judging by the trailers Trek is shaking things up with the introduction of rebooted iconic Trek characters including Captain James T. Kirk’s predecessor, Captain Christopher Pike, Michelle Yeoh’s mercurial and scene-stealing Captain Philippa Georgiou, and the introduction of Spock played by the studly Ethan Peck (grandson of Hollywood acting legend Gregory Peck).

Oh and did we forget to mention the new season heralds the return of a certain enterprising Constitution class starship in its prime?
