    • Do you even know what LGBT stands for: lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. So it’s only the “T” part. Pakistan, being an Islamic republic, is never going to recognize the whole LGBT community.

      • I know LGBT and its just a human characterist and fundamental right. You can’t resist the change for long even in Pakistan, whatever but it will happen, inshallah.

        Study it, especially the genetics and mutation beyond the unproven dogmas.
