Sri Lankan LGBTQ rights activist Chanu Nimesha has filed a complaint with the Police Headquarters regarding hate speech against the LGBTQ community.

Speaking to the media, Chanu Nimesha said that severe hate speech has been made against the LGBTQ community through the media. 

“As they have nothing else to talk about, they are now hanging on to the LGBTQ community, carrying out mudslinging campaigns. We are all normal people, we don’t need to wear a badge saying LGBTQ,” Chanu Nimesha.

Chanu Nimesha further said that they do not need to engage in propaganda; let them live their usual lives. 

“We are against hate speech against the LGBTQ community. If they have a political issue, they should resolve it in another way,” Chanu Nimesha added. (Newswire)
