Will the new Reconciliation Channel publish marriage proposals of Sinhala Buddhist Men (straight) wanting to marry Tamil Women (straight) and vice-versa?
Also, the new channel should promote marriages between same sex couples from the two communities.
Good one Mr Eardley Gajanayke you are a genius I would say. Definitely this is a good suggestion regarding this new channel to promote inter ethnic marriages. I would go bit further than your idea to promote same sex marriages. What about promoting LGBT marriages too. More importantly, what about promoting marriages between different casts? I ajm sure tradition match ,akers (Magul-kapuwa) will go out of business. For that mater marriages between Harijans and high caste Vellala cast marriages too. Would like to see estate Tamils marring Batti Tamils and Batti Tamils marrying Jaffna Tamils (vice-versa).
