Colombo, Sept. 29 (Daily Mirror) - Serious concerns have been raised following the circulation of a post claiming the launch of an “LGBTQIA+ Sexual Wellbeing Clinic” at the National Hospital in Kandy.

The post, which invited the public to attend the opening, has been criticised for giving the wrong impression that the facility is exclusively for the LGBTQ community.

In reality, what was launched today (29) at the Kandy Hospital was a Healthy Sexual Lifestyle Clinic, open to all individuals.

When contacted, Kandy Hospital Director Dr. Erasha Fernando told the Daily Mirror that the post had been created without her knowledge.

“The clinic was established with the vision of creating a 'one-stop shop' for sexual health and wellbeing, accessible to everyone regardless of background and providing comprehensive care and guidance for anyone experiencing sexual health-related issues,” she clarified.

“The clinic’s purpose is to promote healthy sexual lifestyles, address medical and psychological concerns and ensure proper guidance is available for all patients,” she added.

Very soon such clinics and LBbQ facilities will be arranged at every Train station and bus station too. There will be employment opportunities for our locals boys and girls too.

Hope the messaging includes recognition that consent from both partners is a prerequisite

Sometimes I wonder whether we as a society are fit to survive. We cling on to flags and history and the mahavansa, but we seem to be incapable of letting go of the worst that the white man gave us: British Christian values that were alien to us. How does a society in love with itself and its history but also so thoroughly colonially brainwashed even survive? Or why? The slightest hint of something outside the usual Victorian morals, and people lose their minds. Might as well have the whole country just convert to Christianity if this is how we're going to behave. And I say this as an ex Catholic. SL is only Buddhist in name.

It wouldn't be complete without the name of the high profile promoter who wears a saree and leads the good for nothing group in the Parliament.
