As I grow older, I no longer see being gay/lesbian as morally wrong

much prefer that the gays/lesbians give my generation (or at least
me) time to slowly change our view.
[b]In short..... I'm not anti gay/lesbian, but either am I ready to
welcome them with open arm. Which is why I'm glad that Section 377A is kept.... but can't & not
be enforce.
Gays/Lesbian have as much right to live and be free as everyone
else. I don't and wouldn't actively stop or condamn them for their
lifestyle..... But I also don't want a "Pride Parade" to be held in
S'pore too.
Should gay/lesbian be kept inside closet.... 
No, I don't think they should.
Should I welcome them with open arm.....
Sorry, I couldn't..... at least not yet.
PS -
If anyone out there could find some proof that the govt send police
into other ppls bedroom to enforce Section 377A, pls let me know.
If not, I don't think keeping around an un-enforce law is too big a
deal. My own view of course.[/b]
If you are anti-gay i suppose not repealing is fine, if you are
not, then maybe you want it repealed. but if you neither, I see no
reason why you should be glad its not repealed. should be can't be
bothered either way or maybe glad its repealed cos of perhaps mroe
freedom or something.
I see what you mean about being uncomfortable, but note that this
section is only on the penetration/act. basically the repealing
would only have meaning for the pple int he privacy of their homes
or rooms. repealing it does not allow them to commit the act in
public or view of public. and repealing or not would not have
implications on whether they can hug or kiss in public(the can do
it now anyway)
