PKR rep lacks understanding of LGBTQ persons, say groups

Several groups advocating for rights to freedom of expression and rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) persons have raised concerns over allegedly discriminatory comments made by an elected representative.

Justice for Sisters researcher S Thilaga said on top of drafting policies and serving their constituents, an elected representative has a role to play in addressing discrimination against all people.
