yet labourers come to meet the lgbt sex workers? and the labourers aren't gay?
so the lgbt sex workers are unemployed? and they work at night when there is a curfew? they get paid less as they are gay... and they get beaten and raped.
so the police enforce a curfew
which the sex workers ignore....
its so fantastic to shirk your responsibilities. dumb when they are to yourself.
the video shows the fact that when the sex workers find other employment the problems go away.
and I'm sure Win is correct to say there are many many other issues to worry about and that human rights are taken seriously and equally.
balanced video
unbalanced fridae article
and why men or women employed? it is suspicious
then who play? who bargain?
