Dear Mr President,

Sri Lanka’s Appreciation on Your Decision to End the Madness of LGBTQ Psychopaths in the USA

1.      We, in Sri Lanka, looked on with horror and amazement when a small coterie of people with personality disorders and, warped objectives that are inimical to the people of the world, passed laws which legitimised and de – criminalised homosexual activity in the USA and, permitted the perverse change of gender; these laws were in contravention of the dictum  ‘Deus vultis’ and, in our view, were designed to destroy the nucleus of decent human society, the ‘family’.

2.     As President of the USA, you have reminded everyone that there are only two genders in this world: males, and females.

3.     There are no half males or half females or hybrids of any kind; any deviation in sexual conduct is an aberration and people exhibiting such sexual psychopathy and impediments must be handled with sympathy and care; they need to be treated like any other handicapped human-being.  

4.    By definition, sexual psychopaths are manipulative and prone to exhibiting unpredictable violence; they could be dangerous to society and must be constantly kept under scrutiny.

5.     It was our sad observation that your predecessor’s envoy in Sri Lanka, Chung Ji-yoon, a former South Korean national, continues to besmirch and ridicule you; she was actively involved in pushing Mr Biden’s psychopathic LGBTQ line in this country; she uses some selected print and TV media personnel in this country to do her dirty; they have profited from her patronage, be it easy liquor, computers or whatever.

6.    To support some assertions made, we forward herewith a link to an article in Sri Lanka’s Daily FT newspaper that attempts to ridicule and malign your Executive order on the LGBTQ; this article was published after that order. This, in our opinion, is an open affront to your executive order by Jung who has overstayed her assignment in this country https://www.ft.lk/ft_view__editorial/Time-for-a-shift-on-LGBTQIA-rights/58-772316 (the entire article is given as an annex at the end).

7.     Mr Biden’s envoy, Jung, has worked very closely with this newspaper, especially its editor.

8.    During the time you were deprived of your victory by Mr Biden, Jung undiplomatically canvassed in Sri Lanka to bring in LGBTQ legislation using two local politicians, Wickramasinghe and Amerasuriya, both reportedly sexual psychopaths.

9.    Sri Lanka was dead against this piece of legislation; the Supreme Court endorsed the people’s view.

10.            As you very rightly pointed out, when this queer legislation is taken out from the records, these abhorrent sexual activities are automatically criminalised.

11.  In Sri Lanka, not only are these activities criminal; those openly advocating and promoting LGBTQ, are dismissively disregarding the court judgement and its rationale; they are in contempt of the Supreme Court.

12. Wickramasinghe howled that the judiciary had cannibalised the legislature; he however had immunity at the time he made that statement.

13. It is our view that an editor of a newspaper does not enjoy that privilege.   

14.Where Ms Jung is concerned, we feel that if she were investigated you would have a wide latitude of executive action available to you to counter her insidious activities.

15. In conclusion, we cannot but applaud your stand against Fauci, the WHO and the Paris Climate Change proposals. The UN world summit sustainability program is perhaps another item that should be scrutinised.

16.May we take this opportunity to wish you the very best in your second term of office as President.

Yours Sincerely

Members of the Sri Lanka Study Circle

Time for a shift on LGBTQIA+ rights

Tuesday, 28 January 2025 02:30 –     

While the world continues to progress towards greater acceptance of diverse sexual orientations, Sri Lanka remains steadfast in holding on to colonial-era laws that criminalise same-sex relations. As neighbouring Thailand, the largest Theravada Buddhist country in the world, this week took a giant leap forward in this regard by legalising same-sex marriage, Sri Lanka’s laws still stand as an anachronism, hurting its citizens and branding many as criminals for loving who they love.

Sri Lanka’s criminalisation of same-sex relations stems from the Penal Code, introduced during British colonial rule in the 19th century. While many former colonies have since reformed these laws, Sri Lanka has clung to them, citing tradition and cultural values as justification. But these supposed traditions” are often little more than remnants of a foreign legal system that never truly reflected the values of Sri Lanka’s own society.

Thailand’s landmark decision to legalise same-sex marriage last week is a poignant reminder of the positive changes that are possible when societies, governments, and lawmakers choose to respect the dignity and equality of all people. It is a significant step forward for LGBTQIA+ rights in a region that is often seen as conservative on such matters, demonstrating that Buddhism and progressive reforms are not mutually exclusive.

In contrast, Sri Lanka’s LGBTQIA+ community continues to fight for recognition, legal equality, and basic human rights. Same-sex relations between consenting adults remain criminalised under Section 365 and 365A of the Penal Code, which makes carnal knowledge against the order of nature” illegal. For many LGBTQIA+ people in Sri Lanka, this law results in daily fear of discrimination, police harassment, and violence. It’s an injustice that has persisted for far too long, despite the growing momentum in other countries to embrace inclusivity.

The notion that preserving such colonial-era laws is somehow an act of defending Sri Lanka’s culture is an outdated and harmful narrative. Culture, like society itself, evolves. It must accommodate the rights and freedoms of all citizens, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The refusal to decriminalise same-sex relations is not a stand for tradition, but rather a failure to modernise and respect the fundamental rights of individuals.

There have been efforts to reform these laws in Sri Lanka, yet every attempt has been met with resistance. Proposals to decriminalise homosexuality and protect LGBTQIA+ rights have been stymied by powerful conservative forces, including religious groups and political leaders who fear a challenge to their interpretations of cultural norms. However, this approach is rapidly becoming unsustainable in an increasingly globalised world that champions human rights and personal freedoms.

Countries that have decriminalised homosexuality have seen positive changes, from improvements in public health outcomes to enhanced international standing. It is high time Sri Lanka acknowledges the urgency of these reforms.

The successful example set by Thailand should serve as both an inspiration and a challenge to Sri Lanka. The country must ask itself: will it continue to uphold laws that alienate and oppress its own citizens in the name of outdated traditions, or will it embrace the values of equality, justice, and freedom for all? The choice is clear—and the need for action is urgent. //
