That's great well done SL needs to be an inclusive society embracing all humanity in our society without discrimination either in gender or religion. New constitution should embrace all ethnic all religions in a non secular non discriminatory independent sovereign nation

People can identify as a carrot if they want but they should not be voted because of it. They need to be capable and not push their own agendas on the voters. That's all.

Am happy to read this, however, I know how these types of people plan, they want to create a world where they try to convert as many people as possible to their own types and the danger is they start with our children!!! Read statics and research you will understand.

WE SHOULD TREAT ALL PEOPLE AS EQUAL THOUGH SOME OF US MAY HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS. AS LONG AS THE PERSON CONTESTING ANY ELECTIONS ARE EDUCATED, KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE AREA THEY SEEK TO SERVE IN AND PREPARED TO WORK FOR THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE.

God created man and woman. He did not create anything in between or a third type. We are in very dangerous grounds. How did we manage all these generations without this third type??!!

Let people to make their own choices. There is no right or wrong here. Depending on the chemical balance in the body, sexual orientation can happen. Accept them as they are without discrimination.

These ladies are aplenty in India. They formed a political party in Bombay and contested election. It was novel at the beginning, but later on, they lost stream and fizzled out. Let us not blame them for any short comings. They have every right to co-exist in any society.

We don't choose politicians to celebrate their sexual preferences or worship at the alter of inclusivity...select to political office because of their capability and commitment not because of their personal agenda's...
