But we must know what exactly  they want. They should communicate that to us and then we will see if  it hurts our culture and take a decision accordingly,” the Premier told  Daily Mirror online.        Sri Lanka’s gay community on Sunday demanded equal rights and urged the  authorities to emulate India which had last year lifted restrictions on  the gay community in New Delhi.        Executive Director of Equal Grounds, Rozanne Flemar Caldera, speaking  at a fashion show in Colombo on Sunday evening organized by Sri Lanka’s  gay community said that people must be treated equally be they gay or  straight.        Equal Grounds represents the gay community in Sri Lanka and the fashion  show held at the Galadari hotel saw both gay and straight people taking  to the stage to portray equality. Several prominent personalities,  diplomats and others attended the event.
