i being a normal person stand on the homosexuality people side.
-first, we cant just blame them for being homosexual becuase not all of them choose to be, it is themselves once they were born out.
-second, even though those people who choose to be homosexual, they have their rights. so long as they do not influnce normal people where majority is. even they choose to influnce us, we can control ourselves like how we control peer pressure cause everyone have their own thinking.
-third, i find that the society should give homosexual people a chance to express how they feel rather than looking them in another way of being a human. this would allow us to understand more so as to be able to help them in the right way.
I agree with what aaron's stand on living in peace with homosexuals.
hence, i outrightly disagree with the statement that "homosxuality should be discouraged in our society".But i do not agree directly with encouraging homosexuality in our society as well.
we live in in the 21st centuary,
we live in a multi-racial society,
we also live in a very diversed society were there will be homosexuals around.
homosexuals are here to stay. they are not
"infected-with-some-kind-of-disease" and hence cannot be treated.
so i say let us look beyond our religous teachings and embrace them for who they are. Mankind as a race forgives, forgets, and also accepts.
I agree that we can't blame people for being homosexuals or treat them like outcasts of society.
Indeed, they have the right to choose their lifestyle and sex partners.
However, I think we need to be careful not to go to the other extreme of accepting and endorsing homosexuality as just another lifestyle choice. The issue goes deeper than that, and the consequences are too significant to ignore.
Allowing gays to practice their sexual activities within closed doors is one thing, but openly supporting homosexuality by joining them, or pushing for policies and laws favourable to gays is quite another thing altogether.
Doing so will change the way we and our children perceive marriage, sex and family, and eventually lead to significant social changes and health risks that will affect each and every one of us.
We also need to be aware that gays do actively promote their cause. I came across an article written in the 1980s by a prominent gay activist outlining gays' plans to infiltrate and seduce young men from every sector of society.
This gay agenda seems to have succeeded hugely in the last 20 years. It certainly seems to be making headway in our society.
Homosexuality appears to be rapidly gaining acceptance in Singapore, especially among the Yuppies - the young urban professionals.
Perhaps these well-educated young Singaporeans are reluctant to appear narrow-minded and rigid. Being open-minded and accepting seem to be admirable qualities befitting of their educational status. They are taught to be independent-minded instead of conforming, creative instead of common, leaders instead of followers, accepting instead of prejudiced.
These are good qualities and attitudes in their own right, but they make young Singaporeans easy targets for homosexual activists.
Homosexuals are anxious to convince the world that they are normal people with feelings and rights, who have been wronged and misunderstood. They assert that their sexual preferences are normal and inborn. They seem to have presented an image of themselves as the "hurt party", in need of protection and support, and many well-educated Singaporeans have hurried to help them in their "plight".
Some have even allowed themselves to try this "alternative" lifestyle with gays in men's health clubs in our city. A recent report in The New Paper describes a young man's account of unprotected sex and gay sex orgies in local "fitness clubs".
With homosexuality on the rise in Singapore, how should we respond? I don't think we have the luxury of keeping silent out of polite respect.
Homosexuals are not content with keeping their sexual activities a private matter, but are actively soliciting support and recruiting young men to join them in their sex romps.
The message to young men seems to be "if you're not gay, why not be bisexual? try it - you'll like it."

victor here,
Wow Mrs Tang you have covered almost everything there is to this topic and i agree with most of what you have to say. i therefore feel that we as a whole should stand up to fight against homosexuality in Singapore. By reading some of the comments Aaron made, i felt that what mrs tang said was true that homosexuality has been granted the green light to roam about in Singapore and is rubbing off many of the youngsters here at a rampant speed mind you!
Many celebrities have in one way or another altered the minds of the way we think. For example a person of great stature, Sir Elton John has publicly announced that he was a gay and is now 'happily' married to another gay. This will in turn affect how we feel about gays in our society. Okay i guess that there is a need to be more open in society and I'm no traditionalist but isn't being a homosexual person a little overbearing? I mean even if one has no religeon doesn't it becomes very disturbing if two bulky and brawny guys are caressing each other in public?
I feel that homosexuals are just people who just want to stand or are just misguided into thinking that being a gay is allright. Having a crush early on is okay as one may be curious about what really happens in a same sex relationship but going full scale is a no-no. Being misguided is not really their fault too as youngsters are easily influenced and so we as Singaporeans have to make a BIG stand to stamp out homosexuality in Singapore.

Long Seng here..
i strongly agree that homosexuality shld b discourage.
Can u imagine that a guy came up 2 u 1 day n tok 2 u abt boy- boy relationship??? Its tottally atrocious rite?! Many ppl is gonna tok abt the homos rites and dey are normal humans beings lyk us except for of their sexual behaviour but do dey reali mean it??
One will onli noe when dey gt hook up with a homo tokin 2 u abt sex
Shakinah here...
i don't think so that homosexuality should be discouraged in our society... just like everyone in here say so.. they have their own rights to do whatever they want to do... but there are limits to everything. they should not "so-call" do it openly... if u know what i mean...
however, it should be dicouraged if these homosexuality behavior keeps on increasing.. why i say so is because these people could teach the wrong thing to the younger generation.
when more younger generation are bein attracted to their own sex..what will happen to our society? what will happen to S'pore? what will happen to the birth rates?....

I do not mind to have a homosexual friend as long as they do not do anything to me. As what you all said, it’s their right to choose whatever they want. So we cannot choose the path for them. In this world, nobody is perfect! Everyone sure have their own weak point yet they may not feel that it’s a weak point. They’ll find that it’s normal. They also do not want to be a homosexual. It’s just out of their control. So, I think we cannot discouraged the homosexuality in our society because we should not force them to do whatever that is out of their will.

I dont agree that homosexuality should be discouraged in our society .
First of all ,they have their own rights to do it ,and there is no wrong or right with that .
Beside ,some people are born out with it .It is their faith and cant change so we also cant blame them .
I think that we should respect them as they are also a normal people like us .
How do you feel ,when 1 day you are being treat outcast and repel by the society ?
I think it is nothing wrong with that as long as we live in a peaceful world
victor here,
well the fact is i do not really treat them as sane in their minds. To me they are just a misguided bunch of homo sapiens that can be corrected through guidiance. Im not suggesting we round up all the gays and shoot them one by one but to counsel them and help them.
I also do not feel that everyone here is ignorant of what is happening in the papers of cases of the number of homosexuals transmitting their diseases like Aids around. Contrary to what Mrs tang had said about the orgies, to curb these behaviours we have to discourage gays and not give them a chance for them to feel accepted. If we were to be giving way and be more 'open', i will not know what will happen to Singapore in the future. It may even go to the extreme that there may be public sex in the future and people will just say 'oh thats in my genes to have sex in the open'. It may sound ridiculous but does gay marriages sound alright to YOU??
