Another judge, Indu Malhotra, said she believed "history owes an apology" to LGBT people for ostracising them.
Let the celebrations begin!

Oh... it seems they already have:


[*Bahut-bahut badhai! (बहुत-बहुत बधाई!) = Many many congratulations! in Hindi]

  2. What great news! Those His-n-His wedding outfits are gorgeous - almost makes me want to get married!
