"The CDA (Constitution Drafting Assembly) yesterday also voted to include a clause to recognise homosexuals and transsexual individuals and assure they would "enjoy equal rights".

The assembly noted however that such recognition would not lead to sanctioning "homosexual consummation"."

"Meanwhile, the CDA yesterday also agreed to give gay, lesbian, transgender and transvestite groups official status to end discrimination.

 

The CDA members voted unanimously to include a reference to ''those of other sexual identities''. Gay rights activists welcomed the decision, saying it would pave the way for better treatment.

 

''The clause will guarantee our basic rights that have been ignored for such a long time,'' said gay rights activist Nathee Theerarochanapong."
