    "content": "Some of these laws can be frustrating. It is not the mistake of the person who is seeking registration, but it may be used by registration officers to punish those who we should not be punishing or prosecuting. In effect, I support that this Clause should remain intact as it is. However, I urge that at the Committee stage or even before, we can continue to debate on this matter and have a new section or a proviso to that Section 14 that I have been reading, so that we do not punish intersex people for a reason which is our own problem. We have left them out of the general society. This Bill wants to bring them as part of humanity, fellowship and nationhood. This should not be used to cause the kind of problems that I imagine it would. Madam TemporarySpeaker, having said all that, I hope that this Bill will find popular support and lead to even general recognition of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) persons. Sometimes we want to live in the past. In the United States of America (USA) we now have somebody who is running for president under the Democratic Party who is gay. What if he becomes president of the USA? We cannot turn him away from the airport. We have to live up with these new realities.
