Mumbai, July 4 (IANS) Bollywood can't stop talking about the Delhi High Court's landmark judgement that has decriminalised gay sex. From Shatrughan Sinha to Sushmita Sen, all say the verdict was long due and celebrates an individual's right to choose. And they all feel lesbians, gays and transgenders can finally live freely without fear.

Shatrughan Sinha: Old rusty laws are like useless politicians. They should be thrown out. I'm glad Section 377 has been repealed. It was long due. What two people do in the privacy of their bedroom is nobody's business. Homosexuality is not a phenomenon restricted to one country, culture or community. All over the world some of the finest minds are inclined towards same-sex relationships. What is wrong with that as long as two people are happy?

John Abraham: I think the right to a personal choice is a very fundamental right and, thank god, the law against homosexuals has been repealed. Yes, I've gay fans and I did a film 'Dostana', which mercifully did not ridicule the community. I've been brought up in a very liberal Parsi-Catholic household. I believe minorities don't exist any longer. Every community - including homosexuals - has a majority voice.

Rituparno Ghosh: Better late than never!

Sushmita Sen: I always salute decisions that celebrate an individual's right to choose. I could never understand any form of love or any kind of relationship being 'criminal'. Cheers to all those human beings who have won the freedom of choice.

Mugdha Godse: I welcome this decision with open arms. I'm happy a man now has as much right to love a man as he has the right to love a woman. Gays no longer need to hide their feelings. I'm happy for many of my friends.
