Virgin Post Swearing in Hokkien

18 Jan

I’ll only do this ONE time.

“Nabei cheebye”:http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/188060/1/.html.

A “better background”:http://www.yawningbread.org/arch_2005/yax-495.htm — more when I’m more coherent. More ammo later from various sources.

I’m not very good at swearing in Hokkien, my Teochew accent gets in the way. But fuck.

*Update*: “Fridae has however uncovered that the group is an advocate of reparative therapy and is linked to an international Christian group which dedicates itself to “correcting” homosexuality.” (“link”:http://www.fridae.com/newsfeatures/article.php?articleid=1596&viewarticle=1)

You may be wondering why we think this is a big deal. It’s not just a big deal — it’s massive. Essay later. I drank too much today.

  • the LL is in league with Exodus? well fuck that then. ugh. UGH.
  • Oh, bugger to heck. How disappointing.
  • from a particular angle i suppose the liberty league is well-intentioned -- the exodus group actually tries to "convert" gays and lesbians to straightness -- but what's this "support group like alcoholics anon" nonsense? talk about negative connotations.

    did anyone just watch that filth and nonsense on TV that what's-its-name programme with Evelyn Tan as host.

    I'm sickened by what the interviewees said, especially that doctor what's-her-name... what crap about homosexuality being a lifestyle choice and how lesbians and gays purely have a psychological problem. i mean... WTF?

    Oh and to then have my dad go on a homophobic rant... not good... in particular aimed at lesbians only....

    and people wonder why I out myself to everyone except my parents....

    Sigh.

    HAH. I like the analogy about a Nigerian telling the world how it feels to be Chinese and then seeing the light and becoming a White American.

    Oh well. Somebody save us all.
