“The idea of bringing people from sexual minority to the mainstream of the society should not be just a subject for speeches. It is our duty to support them by giving them opportunities to live independently in society. To make this idea a reality, I have appointed a person from the community in my own office. This is a good beginning and I am happy about it. I am confident that people from the community can also achieve goals in society if they are given the right opportunity,” Jayamala said.
