But before he takes charge of the responsibilities as the member of parliament, his view on same-sex marriage in a tweet from last year, are being showered with praises on social media.

Some are expressing 'concern' that #Section377Scrapped would be followed by demands for legalizing same sex marriage.
Why not?
Aren't ideas of marriage, inheritance & adoption mere legal fictions? Why can't these fictions have space for same sex couples? Natural consequence!
