"Singapore society has to decide which direction it wants to take on laws against gay sex: Shanmugam
“This issue relates to social mores, values - so can you impose viewpoints on a majority when it so closely relates to a social value system?”
Those comments echo those previously made by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who had said most Singaporeans would want to keep the statute, and that Singapore society "is not that liberal on these matters"."
and
"Veteran Singapore diplomat Tommy Koh calls for gay community to challenge sex ban
"I would encourage our gay community to bring a class action to challenge the constitutionality of Section 377A," Professor Koh wrote."
Intetesting development. Obviously the judgment in India top court criminalizing gay sex is significant n had triggered the imaginations of gay in Sgp to try this again.
Significantly the main difference this time is an establishment figure openly calling on the gay community to launch a CLASS ACTION to challenge the Constitutionality of Sgp's laws punishing gays in gay sex!!
The anti-gay will b responding strongly; especially those who actually display hatred towards gay!!
Is it true the majority want the section 377A to stay? Who r this "majority"? who care?
Pastor Lawrence Kong n his flock r not the majority right?
As long as the gay community keep to themselves, i care less abt their sexual practices!
We can agree to disagree n leave it as is.
Let's repeal section 377A n move on!!
