Friday, 18th Sept 2015, 4:56 PM IST Swara Bhaskar, who was last seen in ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’, has come out in support of the LGBT community. The actress has slammed Article 377. Swara said, "It's a shameful matter that in a democracy like ours, there is a law like Article 377 which criminalises a community who're part of us and part of the country, and their acts. It's saddening.” She stated this as a panel member on a discussion on homosexuality as part of the film 'Timeout'. "It's really important that laws change. It's not okay to have a law which criminalises homosexuality or unnatural sex or whatever weird language it's put in. You're making not just gay people but even heterosexuals vulnerable at the hands of the agents of the state like the police, which we've seen in various cases over the last year," the actress said. Swara stated that being straight or gay is a personal choice. She added, "It is completely normal and natural. There's no hype in it. For all countries and especially India being a democracy, it is a right for everyone to express their identities in whatever fashion they wish to express."
