\u201cThe natural sexual attraction is called sexual orientation,\u201d Pant said. \u201cHomosexuality is not unnatural like the attraction on opposite sex is not unnatural,\u201d Pant said. \u201cWe have already made it clear in the previous discussion,\u201d Panta said. Heterosexual is not your choice, similarly, homosexuality is not my choice,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n
\u201cMajority of homosexual are living like man and women but being a transgender is living differently than like man and women in terms of dress, gestures and presentation,\u201d the letter reads, \u201cBut majority homosexual are not living like this.\u201d \u00a0Panta made such request after Pokhrel suggested to remove the sexual orientation from draft constitution. Pokhrel has said that it would be better to mentioned gender minorities instead of sexual orientation.
