The bill has been dropped and I am just staring at my screen because it really happened. Protecting our traditional values felt like such an uphill battle but the pressure worked and now we just have to stay focused on what comes next to keep our moral standing intact.

The private member’s bill submitted by MP Premanath Dolawatta to repeal the sections 365 and 365A of the Sri Lanka Penal Code is a result of subservience to the directions of the UN Human Rights Committee and the radical feminist UN CEDAW Committee, and of the pressure from Western Governments and supranational organisations.
The Dolawatta Sodomy bill seeks to sanction public displays of unnatural carnal intercourse, even among young persons of age 16; and to provide a privileged “equality” to hedonistic and degenerate behaviour.
The Supreme Court has interpreted this bill as legalising “any sexual conduct” “in private or public” “irrespective of sexual orientation”. Special rights or special “equality” for LGBT-identifying persons would permit “grossly indecent behaviour”, while questions of morality have been said to be outside the scope of the legislature.
Committing sodomy does not enrich a person’s dignity, and liberty is better employed in pursuing virtue. Every human being has dignity, but every act is not equal in dignity.
The equality for pansexual practices, expressions and associations, and the insane acceptance of transgenderism where a woman may be legally a man, will provide rights for the LGBTQIA+ ideologies to infiltrate the educational curricula and media channels. Teachers will be bound teach children about the “normalcy” and “equality” of deviant sexual behaviour, and of unnatural familial relationships. It will be deemed “harassment” to declare that the natural family – where one man marries one woman and they have children, is the bedrock of society.
Nations can be strong when the citizens are fortified with wholesome values, and when families are stable, united and flourishing. The United Nations Organisation seeks to legalise abortion, LGBTQ+, and sexual education for children in order to denigrate our nation, and tear up the very fabric of society.
There is no need to repeal the penal code. Those who commit abominable acts in private already do so freely.
Sanctioning homosexual lifestyles lead not only to proliferation of STDs in society and a consequent burden on healthcare resources, scandal in public and dimunition of morals, but also harms the practitioners physically and mentally - as evidenced in nations that have legalised LGBT.
This is an appeal to the Government of Sri Lanka to stand by sound principles and weather the international pressures to obey and conform: Withdraw the disastrous Dolawatte Sodomy bill, for the sake of our children, the future of our nation.
Yours sincerely,

I have been reading through the feedback and it confirms everything I feared about how this ideology will seep into our local schools because we really are at a crossroads for where our culture is heading. People keep messaging me with their own concerns about the legislature ignoring morality and I am working on getting our arguments in front of the right people who actually care about preserving our traditional values.

Under pressure from INGOs, WB and IMF, SL succumbs - subjecting its most vulnerable population - its children to sexual abuse and exploitation!
As the write up says, those who practice such acts and jive such lifestyles already do so in private. Hence there is no need of the repeal
I renounce this bill as the most covetous and uncivilized matter even for consideration by the long held culture of the nation and as per ethical values.
To sanction public displays of unnatural carnal intercourse, even among young persons of age 16; will lead your nation into a downward spiral. Please reject it.
Please consider the children and do not normalize sodomy to them. It will contribute to the disintegration of marriage, family and protection of children.
These bills should be flushed down the toilet.
Sri Lanka culture has no place for such laws

This kind of legislation DOES NOT create equality, it goes beyond that, establishing a privileged class of people, thereby reducing equality for others. Every society in history that has gone down this path has destroyed itself.
