This was the only problem we had to solve in this country. Who's agenda is being executed here? We have been pushed to kneel down in front of others commands by our supreme rulers.

Finally! Time to end these archaic British laws from the 19th century. Live and let live. Government has no business dictating what consenting adults do in their privacy.

This is a significant step towards equality and justice. Good determination. We need to step away from the archaic laws of the British and respond to the call by our LGBTIQ citizens who have been treated wrongly for so so long.

When the Ugandan government took a hard stance on homosexuality withstanding the pressure by the liberal west, our fellows are bowing their heads like the good little dogs they are, US state department hard at work, what next? A Pride perahera?

It's about time we stopped treating a group of our own brothers and sisters as second class citizens. We claim to be a proud Buddhist nation. Buddhism does not condemn or look down on homosexuality so why should we as a nation!

Giving equal rights to LGBTQ2 people does not mean non-gay people have less rights so why would we not want all citizens to have equal rights? Unless of course one is insecure with their own sexuality.
