Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean.In this country there are no any freedom for gay relationship. The law also against gays. There are no any type of knowledge regarding gay rights in the society.Our aim is to give the knowledge regarding gay rights to the society. This is very difficult task because most gays do not like to come forward because they know that the society will hate them and sometimes their their lives will be lost.We hope to start this difficult task and need help from gay friendly organization from all over the world not only them but also from every single gay.If you like to help us please be kind enough to write us.Our email gayfriends_srilanka@yahoo.com
