Those events is a civil movement within the gay comm to help us
understand ourselves better. All these events are publicly
announced. Whether the police moves in to close down these events
will help us to understand the government's stand on this
issue.
Is it not subtle enough merely to advertise the event, and
subvert the curious to find out the time and venue of the event
?
Can a movement of "troubled" individuals help themselves understand
themselves better without any professional help or guidance ?
It might as well be a bunch of young teenagers coming together to
share their load of misunderstanding and persecution from their
parents and peers.

And beyond the events, I did highlight the political movement in
areas nearer to us. From China, to Thailand, to Japan, etc etc...
Which might serve as a model for Singapore to follow suit soon.
Which is related to politics, isn't it? Even in Singapore, we have
seen the HDB finally giving more space to the gay comm and the
rights to hold indoor talks. Aren't all these related to politics?
But then, it's just sad that not many people commented on these
policies.
Is the gay rights movement a political movement to demand for
more political space for gays, or is it a movement to demand
attention to their own plights ?
"HDB finally giving more space to the gay comm" is merely to serve
their own purpose of dumping their overbuilt stock of HDB units
that have remained stagnant and unsold over the last five years or
more.
The fact that 'gay talks' are only permitted to be held indoors -
and without too much publicity - clearly shows that 'gay' attitude
is socially and culturally unacceptable and can only corrupt
attitudes of those who are weak in mind.
:
My intention of starting this thread is clear. There are gays in
Singapore (hope this statement does not come as too much of a
surprise). Currently, there's lack of integration into the
mainstream. There are efforts being done to help the integration
(e.g., SPACES). Which is a non-profit organisation which help raise
funds for the handicaps. Over 50% of volunteers in SPACES are gays.
The society and country can move forth only when there's more
understanding or else the great divide will always be
there.
With 50% of volunteers in SPACES being gays, does it take so
much to stretch one's imagination that its efforts will surely be
self-serving towards the interests of their own kind ?
Society and country can move forth if gays can understand that it
is against the order of nature for such attitudes to be cultivated
and accepted, and the consequence that blight society and country
is in the incurable disease such as AIDS - and what other mutated
forms that will follow.
:
And gays, in Singapore, contribute as much to the society as anyone
else. In fact, the contribution is even much higher. Being gays, we
are immediately labelled as singles, and hence, have to contribute
more taxes. And we do not get the $20,000 tax rebated that
child-bearing heterosexual counterparts are receiving. But then, we
do not get to participate much in the other privileges as a
Singaporean. HDB is one such privilege. Edusave accounts. And many
other disbursements by the government to only married heterosexual
couples.
Let us call 'a stick, simply as a stick' - why hide under the
cleverly disguised happier and innocuous but misleading term of the
word - 'GAY' ?
If the other meaning for the word 'GAY' is to be 'HAPPY' - is
HOMOSEXUALITY and LESBIANISM happiness ?
Is it in the order of Nature for two HUMANS from the SAME SEX to be
united?
If it is intended by Nature for two HUMANS from the SAME SEX to be
sexually united for the continued process of renewal of human-kind,
then humans should have taken the form of being amoeba or
protozoa.
If two HUMANS from the SAME SEX can be effective in child-bearing
activities to achieve Singapore's national goal, surely it will not
tax the national resources to provide tax rebates to such unions by
mono-sexual marriages by those inclined to being homosexuals or
lesbians ?
Are homosexuals and lesbians the only Singaporeans being labelled
singles ?
There remain a larger number of males and females - who are NOT
homosexuals or lesbians, and continue to be SINGLE; and
individually or as a group, they will contribute as much or even
more then the homosexual and lesbian community; and yet will
require less from the State in terms of MEDICAL HELP or
HOUSING.
The many Government incentives afforded to there NORMAL Singapore
SINGLES are intended to "push" these individuals into legal union,
so as to be able to fulfill their natural role of
procreation.
Surely, this role is better suited for NORMAL HUMANS who do not
indulge into deviant 'GAY' fantasies of fulfillment ?
