A local NGO pushing for decriminalisation of unnatural acts and gross indecency in Sri Lanka is a foreign agent, Christian Voice can reveal.
The pro-gay non-profit Equal Ground, which also promotes the destructive ideology of transgenderism, is financially supported by the High Commissions of the UK, Canada, and Australia and the Embassies of the United States, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Equal Ground is also funded by the wealthy UK-based Sigrid Rausing Trust and the overtly-homosexual GiveOut.org. On the website of the latter, we read: ‘In 2021, GiveOut’s grant will support Equal Ground’s core costs as they continue decriminalisation efforts in Sri Lanka.’
West uses agent to meddle in Sri Lankan politics
Equal Ground’s ‘decriminalisation efforts’ have been targeted at the courts, in what is now known as ‘Strategic Litigation’. That device uses the courts to force changes to civil and criminal law. ‘Strategic Litigation’ is now a well-developed tool of foreign-funded pro-sodomy activists all over the developing world.
Let us be clear. Western foundations and governments are using a local agent, which they have set up, to interfere in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka. Imagine the row if Sri Lanka was meddling in the politics of the UK or Canada.
Equal Ground also lists the UK-based Kaleidoscope Trust as a ‘partner’ alongside US-based ‘InterPride’, the ‘Fund for Global Human Rights’ and ‘Sysco LABS’ (‘the innovation office of Sysco, the No. 1 foodservice provider in the world)’ together with the pro-trans ‘Equality Fund’, which is itself funded by the UK and Canada.

Equal Ground and Premanath Dolawatte
The Equal Ground NGO is now working with a Sri Lanka MP, Hon Premanath C. Dolawatte, who is attempting to garner support for a bill to decriminalise unnatural acts and gross indecency. It would be no surprise if foreign actors have already sought to channel funds to the campaign of Hon Dolawatte.
Be that as it may, foreign governments and foundations are meddling in Sri Lanka to force that nation to legalise unnatural acts, alien to family, culture, decency and the eternal laws of the Almighty:
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Article 365 of the Sri Lankan Penal Code, which dates from the time of colonial British Ceylon, like its Kenyan (Art 162) equivalent, criminalizes ‘carnal intercourse against the order of nature’. Article 365A prohibits gross indecency. The former offence carries a sentence of ten years while the latter is punishable by two years’ imprisonment. The offences follow divine law, but are anathema to modern Western thinking.

UK funded pro-gay propaganda films
UK-based organisations are pushing sodomy onto Sri Lanka through funding of other projects as well. The Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), boasts on its website that it funded a series of pro-LGBT short fictional propaganda films. These, it says, ‘premiered in the country in late 2021 and will go on tour around the country in 2022.’
Furthermore, the project was ‘funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and implemented in partnership with Kaleidoscope Trust (KT).’ The UK Foreign Office is caught once more interfering in the affairs of a sovereign country.
And of course the foreign-funded pro-gay Sri Lankan-based ‘Equal Ground’ NGO was a ‘local CSO partner’ in the enterprise.
NGO transparency
Speaking on transparency, ‘Equal Ground’ say: ‘We will not withhold information about our activities or finances from our donors. If we make a mistake, we will own up to it and find a way to correct it.’
What they will not do is admit to is how much their donors give or the sum of their total income and operating expenses. Their Equal Ground 2021 annual report does not name any donors. Only on page 5 of their latest 2022 report do we find some ‘funding partner’ logos, to which our research has added more.
The glossily-produced publication and the activities of Equal Ground certainly indicate that the funding they receive from the West is immense. If a Sri Lanka MP were to move a Transparency Bill, the funding for this foreign agent and others like it could be revealed.
Matt 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Woke white West
Note that the funding of Equal Ground is all from the woke white Western nations. No Eastern-European, Asian or African Embassy, High Commission or NGO is funding Equal Ground. Nor are any Sri Lankans, with one strange exception.
Surprisingly, Equal Ground say Sri Lanka’s biggest conglomerate, John Keells Holdings PLC, is also funding them. To what extent is not clear and it could be a lie, for the NGO is not listed in John Keells PLC accounts.
The Wall Street Journal puts JKH PLC’s latest turnover at 276,640m SL Rupee, or $940m. Its directors will no doubt bump into company directors from the West as they jet around the world, and with wokeness now endemic in Western business, groupthink may have overcome decency. Whatever the reason, John Keells PLC recently launched a ‘OneJKH’ initiative to show how ‘diverse’ and ‘inclusive’ they are.
Under ‘Human Capital’ they say: ‘LGBTIQ: In September 2021, another key milestone was reached with the completion of the Inclusive Workplace Survey conducted in partnership with The National Transgender Network (NTN) and The Grassrooted Trust, to obtain a broad range of information on trans inclusivity in the corporate sector. During the same period, the Group joined IFC Sri Lanka’s ‘TWC+’ (‘Together We Can Plus), making commitments on inclusivity towards Persons with Disabilities.’
Pray for Sri Lanka
Across the world, transgenderism, men pretending to be women, is being seen as the lie it is. Sports bodies are stopping men competing as women. Young women are coming forward distraught at the irreversible mastectomies and hormone injections they went through vainly trying to be men. This ‘trans bubble’ may not yet have burst in Sri Lanka but John Keells PLC should distance themselves from this evil and from the anti-family agenda of the gay activists if Krishan Balendra wants to be on the right side of history.
In the meantime, please pray for Sri Lanka. Pray that the desires of the Western nations to corrupt Sri Lanka and its children are thwarted. Pray that their foreign agents are exposed for what they are. Pray that support for the bill being moved by Hon Dolawatte drains away. Pray that instead, Sri Lanka seeks the Lord and his ways. Pray for the directors of John Keells:
Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
And please pray for Christian Voice and for the Lord to raise up Christians in Sri Lanka to stand for righteousness.
