Indian government
Meh, Indian government is a good example of people with no perseverance. A long time ago, they legalized third gender. Then when election came up, they illegalized it again. It's like one year you're legal, then, suddenly, the next year you're no longer legal. 5 years later, you're legal again.
Indian Supreme Court recognized the third gender 3 days ago. Let's see how long that lasts this time.
Such a pity
...about their anti-gay laws.
