Regardless of what religion you are, homosexuality is still a sin against God. It is abnormal, repulsive, animal like, perverted, immoral. Most people agree with this however we have been forced into a situation where no one is allowed to voice their true feelings about gays. So many gay men that are still able to have sexual relations with women from time to time, I wonder why that is? People becoming gay while in prison then reverting back to a normal relationship with someone of the opposite sex, I wonder why this is?? The anus is for the removal of excrement, sorry if this offends, just stating a fact, marriage is between 2 people of the OPPOSITE sex.

You know the strange thing is that even though that these “strictly religious” and “true to faith” people who claim that they are straight have a very twisted mind… they say they hate LGBT people yet they can sit at home in their bed rooms and jack off to two girls making out porn movie….

Rainbow Maldives you have my full support

hey all … even if you are strongly religious, I think every religion says to love other people and I guess every god goes for the same …
It doesn’t matter what somebody does in the bedroom and with whom, that’s someone’s private life. An individual expression of its own, as religion is.
Next to that, Maldivian society too is in an evolution, just look around, also on the islands … strict religious rules will not change what is happening in real life.
Go for, Rainbow Maldives, all the best with !

Rainbow Maldives has my full support.

Every Maldivian has a right to not be harassed because of their sexual orientation. Homosexuality has always been taboo in the Maldives, so its time to reach out and try to address the reasons why. We musnt accept the status quo, we have to try and better ourselves and our community.

Individuals like MaldivianEye and Maldivian_true use religion and culture as a thinly disguised veil for their homophobic views, but we will use reason and empathy to justify our beliefs.

Its not just tolerance that we should seek, but acceptance.

Im maldivian and though I am straight, I have many friends who are gay and support them fully. I’d like to show my appreciation for the positive exposure of the rainbow maldives movement that you have shown us. I also want to make it known that it is not only LGBTQ maldivians that support this cause. I am quite ashamed to read what MaldivianEye and maldivian_true have said in response to ur article. Although it definitely serves as a pretty good example of what Grant disclosed about the attitudes of most Maldivians.
I hope WE have the courage to ‘fight back against the devils’. Amen to that.

Far Out! But if you people are as straight and as religious as you say, why are you then hanging around on a LGBT related news site? Examine your own lives first and stop being such hypocrites!

On the other hand, look at Rainbow Maldives. They know how to be true to themselves. Keep of the good work fellas and keep it real.

Peace out.

Good for you! The above two commenters have no idea what they are talking about. I think we must go after the drug traffickers and paedophiles (many of who preach Islam). Private lives of individuals is nobodys business. A paradigm shift is taking place in our society we have taken our first step by electing a secular minded President over an Arabic sproutung kleptocrat…..this is a first step. I’m straight but I do have friends who are gay I wish you all the best of luck in your endeavours.

Hello hello….now what? I think this aint gona work. Maldives is Maldives…please leave us alone. I would very much appreciate if you could come up with something where we could see a world free of dirty, evil acts like homosex and lesbo. To me, i will not welcome what you are planning to do. I will fight back to kick anyone out of our community who works against our religion, Islam,Insha Allah! I make dhua for Almighty Allah to give us courage to fight back against the devils. Amen!!
