Recognition for 'third sex'
Homosexual rights groups are calling for official recognition of the so-called "third sex" in the new constitution.
Nathee Thirarojanapong, president of the Thai Political Gay Group, said the clause guaranteeing equal rights for men and women should also include the phrase "and people with other sexual conditions and preferences".The so-called "third sex" includes gays, lesbians, transvestites and cross-dressers. "This would genuinely guarantee the rights of all people," said Nathee, who said gay groups were optimistic about the charter.
