All the accused were so ridiculous and funny at the same time. I’m not gay, but i have plenty gay friends. They are all nice, well educated, professional in their respective industry and well behave. Not forgetting, some of them are really loyal to their partner.

i can’t understand why ppl think that way. Really. What’s wrong with their mind?

I spotted these strange comments on both sites, especially via the keep377a.com signatories, but didn’t think to save it. It’s gone from their sites (probably for good reason), so it’s great that you’ve got the gist here and pointed out their misappropriations. ;)

Well donaq, if you put the entire muslim and christian population you get about 50%? With that, you add on a smattering of other conservative people groups, you do get a majority who might oppose to it. I would like to put an alternative view as well.

There is too much to consider and too much at hand for the government to consider. I am not defending them, but they are really stuck between a rock and a hard place. I do not forsee us being frontrunners in the region(SEA) for homosexual acceptance. Geo-Politically, we sit in a ring of religious hotspots. A repeal might have dire consequences. Will we be frowned upon by our muslim neighbours? Not to forget, we do have openly secret alliance with Israel as well. it’s going to be tough for our nation’s govt to openly accept. I won’t dare say that Jihad will be declared for repealing it, but still, it’s a sticky situation.

Underlying all, whether 377A is archaic or not, repealing it does sends a message. Is our nation ready for that message and the govt ready to take on that responsibilty? I don’t think so. However, I think the movement to repeal alone has shown how much we have developed over the years.

It’s really sad and telling that the keep website managed to garner so many signatures in so short a time.

The church is crumbling and it is holding onto its membership by creating an external factor to hate.
It is strange how evangelists put down other religions by labelling them “satanic”.

Lately the elderly couple next door to me was finally “convinced” by their children to convert. However they were still lamenting about the loss of their expensive rosewood dining tablets, chest and altar table just because they contained carving of dragons that their pastor insisted they must be smashed up in church!

Was told, on sunday, all the church pastors sent out an short urgent email to urge all christians in the chrch to sign it before the deadline. this was an announcement made in church for them to sign. Honestly, tapping onto religion is the best they can get to get us.

Roll eyes.

I’d heard about the dictatorship regime in S’pore but this is outlandhishly burlesque! While I’m not supremely acquainted with the laws of my land (India), I do know that most of my country is homophobic. Sexual orientation is predestined when a child is born and not adhering to the norm is a…disease. Indeed, a friend of mine was beaten demoniacally by his family only so they could ’straighten’ him out. And what’s worse, is that educated denizens actually condone such expression.

It would be fatuous to believe that attitudes towards gays and lesbians will change anytime soon. And when I think of all the propoganda incited by progressive nations on something as sensitive as this, I despair of progress.
