Like many Singaporeans, I did not care much about the fight until when I read about the programme's stand on homosexuality in some of our local schools. Somehow this particular topic screams at me every time I read about it on the daily ST reports.
Then there were numerous views in the build up to the Sat's meeting... Words like pro-choices, plurality, inclusiveness, value-based sexual education, religious influences, leadership style, passion, leadership hijacked, unethical take-over and so on.... A lot of smoke at times, a lot of hidden agenda I sensed...
All these somehow again gave me an impression that the organisation already has a strong representation, a prominent voice for a group of people of a different sexual orientation... And they want to use the organisation to propagate their rights of existence and acceptance in our society...
I cannot help but wonder as a male citizen, with no kids, no strong religious views, where are all these heading...
- A few that were quoted on Sunday Times are lesbians or pro-homosexuals activists...all wanted the old guards to be back in action... How I know ? I have friends from there too and the circle is very small....
- Pink seems to be the color of choice. The heading banner on Sunday Time's article; the new chief's cheong-sum, the Muslim activist's tudong.
- I am under the impression for many years that 'pink' is the color of choice normally associated with the PLU ( People Like Us, the lesbians and gays communities code) Our local media coined the 'Pink Dollar', the 'Pink Economy'. Our leaders coined the term 'Pink Collar' community.... Was it deliberate ?... A subtle message to those that can decipher ?...
- I wonder how many of those that voted for the old guards are straight...
- Value base education or no value to base on ?... If no values attached to sexual education, no black or white and 'things' can be seated on grey when it cannot be categorised, then its very disturbing...
- Neutral is neither right or wrong ? Neutral is ok?.... I would get the view that its okay to try same-same sex relationship and so on.... Where are we heading ah ?....
- Showing Spider Lilies is ok.... Then show Broke Back Mountain too I suppose... to our teens so they too can make informed choices? Pro Choices ?...
- One Malay man was quoted on Sunday Times that he has 3 daughters and he supported the organization's controversial programme in school. I wonder if he really knew if there were any hidden agenda in the programme and would he say the same thing if some of his daughters decided to have a permanent partner of the same sex next time...
Women standing on chairs shouting like crazy, boos and jeers were heard as reported; with strong views expressed on the floor, especially from one crew cut lady that spoke so passionately about her views and condemning the 'new guards' openly.... Its very very scary !!!....
What's next ?... More homosexual or lesbian activists represented in parliament?....
Let's see who is the first woman to stand out in the open and declare that she is a lesbian and wants her rights to be recognized and accepted in our society....
