Irony of Singapore's law

chronicles SG

How come people get charged under the sedition law for posting racist deragotry comments but no one gets arrested for posting disparaging Homophobic remarks that stigmatizes the entire gay community.SO I SEE, gays are not human beings, they have no feeling or emotions, they are not just another group of people.They ARE ALIENS

You should be glad that at least, "The System", is giving the GAYS some level of recognition.

What you expect? Your own gay leaders as well???

Another HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS topic ?

Why are HOMOSEXUAL so ingenious in disguising their thoughts in misleading ways ?

Is it due to the years of self-inflicted doubts that they need to disguise themselves and hide in the wood works ?

Are Singapore Laws SPECIFICALLY targetting the HOMOSEXUAL Community, or applicable to ALL SINGAPOREANS - regardless of their sexual preferences ?

The government has for the past 40 years been showering goodwill and considerations to the minority and its religions. It allocated lands for building of places of worship, its ministers openly often seen patronizing their festivals and extend all forms of grants and financial supports to such minority.

It even went to the extent changing the voting system to GRC to guarantee the minority of representations and forming IRCs to appease minority to avoid perceived problems.

How about extending to the majority and all the law-abiding populations and not ignoring their interests or taking their silence for granted?

The majority and religions that are practising moderate and peaceful coexistence have to get recognitions of their concessions. It should not be the case that the majority have to concede all the time for being meek and for their meekness they are even seen to be tackled on preaching conspiracy or anti-social marxist values etc. Be fair to all and be balanced in treatments of religious beliefs and extending of goodwill and patrongages so that the government is not seen as being afraid of the extreme and militant.

If it gives the wrong impressions that it is afraid of the extreme and violent and militant but not willing to listen to the meek and tolerant, then people will get the wrong message and follow suit.

Balance of racial and religious treatment by the government is just as important. It is hoped the government will be more supportive of majority and those who are practising harmony and goodwill and tolerance as otherwise there is no reason for the majority to continue to compromises and show goodwill all the time to extremism of the minority.

This is a case of choosing where the book is thrown. For good reason, though. Racism against other races is definitely a more pressing problem than the current oppression of homosexuals in this society. It could undermine the current social construct, and plunge us into the same racial distrust as in the 1960s.

This is not to say that we should deprive homosexuals of their rightful recognition in society, but resources are limited, and the use of it should therefore be prioritised.

Homosexuality is an increasingly pressing problem in Singapore, that, i mean ostracizing homosexuals. It started with being a taboo and then being a crime and then it became more liberal again but at the same time some heterosexuals make use of this liberty as another venue to ostracize even further.

First it was politics. Homosexuals are not given high recognition in the civil service. And then that was rectify to some recognition. Just think of the army, how many gays or trans are being severely mocked and even beaten up in the army? Okay that problem was rectified. Gays tend to have more pride of their sexuality because gay support groups are even larger than the lesbian ones.

There was this new rule in clubs where butches or likewise candidates who do not dress like a lady are not allowed free entry for ladies' night. Or even so, on normal nights, they are made to pay a guys' fee. (let's not input names here) But the question here is, is it fair? aren't butches or girls who just prefer t-shirt and jeans not ladies? Office politics - butches are not even shortlisted just because of the way they dress.

Is it the way homosexuals dress? OR is it just their sexual religion? Is it the gender? Or it is just the person? Is it discrimination? Or is it a traditional taboo?

Laws aside, politics aside. Personally, would you sneer at a guy in skirt? Would you point your finger at two girls holding hands? Sometimes I think it is the way the society reacts, and thus the limited willingness to allow recognition. Where do most homosexuals congregate? The advertising industry.

I guess it is not about gay rights or the limited ability to voice thought. I suppose it is just about human rights. Is it not?

stellazio SG

Does gayism have anything to do with the government? Laughing

lxh SG

yeah. we’re talking about acknowledgement arent we?

Salman SG

Is homosexuality a religion?

I think its downright abnormal and should indeed be discouraged by society. You give these homos an inch and they will demand a foot from you later on.

Shotgun SG

Erm what irony? Singapore’s laws are against homosexuals right from the start. It looks like they are just keeping it that way.

lxh SG

i guess it is democracy and freedom of speech versus the vice versa. and sexual religion and simply refer to each's ideal sexuality. Very Happy

leon_lai89 SG

make a law that gays or lesbian have a seperate state like what the tamils in sri lanka want

lxh SG

haha thats funny. i’m doing some topic on sri lanka now. the tamils simply wanted some recognition. not really a separate state. they were very simple people then.

Salman SG

faggots out!
