I personally do not disagree with homos being legalised in singapore or anywhere. I feel homos should be given the freedom to do whatever normal are able to do because at the end of the day, every human have human rights which means we have the right to do what we want and this includes being a couple with another person of the same gender. why should homos be baned when it is not a crime or a disease, in fact, allowing homos does not change the nature of anything. Just like a normal guy/girl relationship, homos are just another group of people who find comfort and love with another person of the same gender so i dont see why is it being so strongly critized.
P.S i used homos instead of homosexuality due my laziness to protect the well being of my delicate little fingers.
At macro point of view, low birth rates has been a concern among policy-makers now and we all understand the need to improve it in order to sustain in the future.
Should homosexuality be legalised, it provide a platform of alternative for individuals to get into a "committed relationship" and if this really become a trend or lifestyle, whatever policies that has been introduced to improve birth rates could be back-fired.
I am not saying that only homosexuality cause low birth rates as there could be other factors too. But again, any sensible person would know that it is impossible to produce babies from couples of the same gender and ironically our ministers message to us now is to make more babies.
On the contrary with Timothy, i support the statement that homosexuality should not be legalised. Legalising homosexuality is akin to encouraging it when it is still not acceptable to the public at large. This will destroy the social morals and values that have been painstakingly built up over the years. For the sake of the future generation, this issue has to be pondered upon carefully as what is acceptable in other countries may not be so in ours, as we are still fundamentally an asian society, which emphasizes on moral values. Sexual preference is not about civil rights and has nothing to do with equality or tolerance. The homosexuals are actually already enjoying a lot of freedom in Singapore. Just look at some bath houses in town. The gays want to push their agenda further so that the rest of the society become powerless against their depravity. Imagine Singaporean children will be taught in school to accept homosexual lifestyle and encourage to do so. Furthermore, most Singaporeans hold conservative family values and do not accept homosexuality as the norm. The majority of Singaporeans want the next generation to grow up in a traditional environment that espouses healthy and wholesome traditional family values. Therefore, homosexuality should not be legalised in order to preserve our moral fabric and not send wrong message to society, especially the young.
People who are homosexual are just normal human beings like us. Only their sexual identity is different from 'normal people' like us. This is the preceptive of the society. Actually what the definition of the phrase 'normal people'. It's the society that defines people whom are not homosexuals as normal. As most of our society are not homosexuals. But imagine a society where 'normal people' are homosexuals, then that society will be the exact opposite of our society. Personally, I feel that it's not up to us to judge other people as a person. Thus i feel that homosexuals should be accepted in our society. However, I feel that our society still can't accept homosexuals as 'normal people'. Thus if we do legalized homosexuality, then it will be contradicting as the society can't really accept them as 'normal people' when we see them on street, but on paper we so called has accepted homosexuality. In a nutshell, I feel homosexuality shouldn't be legalized for now may be two generation after this where people are getting more open minded and willing to accept others who are different from us.
In my opinion, i think that homosexuality should and must be legalised. Although it is against my religion, i feel that they should be given more freedom in what they are doing. It is not really their choice that they are different from others; you will never know what is it like to be different from the majority and having people see you as someone who is "disgusting". Actually i do not like the thought of what they do in their bedroom but what matters most is what they like. Therefore we should not DISCRIMINATE anyone who is different from us. If homosexuality is against our morals, isn't discriminating also against our morals?
But is it not a defence for homosexuals if homo-ality is not legalised? think about it. if it is legalised for some reason, homos will start to show off their identity by natural ways of affection in public(eg. holding hands, hugging,etc. not sex in public yet). When this happens, people who aren't homo will start making fun of them, perhaps to the extent of giving disgusted remarks such as "eeeeee", or "oh my gosh" and evrything else. right now, in this age, i dont see much homo affection in public and this case is not happening. But, imagine if you see gays kissing each other, or holding hands. If you arent open minded enough to just shrug it off, dont to think your disgusted expression would hurt their feelings?
Homosexuality should not be legalised as it is morally wrong. If we allow homosexuality to be legalised we are promoting that being gays and lesbian is all right. As you know that we are an Asian community where good morals are being practiced, therefore we should continue exercising good moral values. Recently news is that the gays protested for homosexuality to be legalised and accepting their nature into the society. They want the society to change their perceptions about homosexuality being wrong. They expect us to accept them. Question is, why cant they accept our opinions that homosexuality is morally wrong and try to change to be normal?? Furthermore its majority against minority. Thus homosexuality should not be legalised where good moral values could be affected
The goverment are trying to instill democracy where each and every person have the rights to vote in every decison. So is this democratic?. Even though it is just a minority, they still have the rights to live as what they are. These people are looked at that way becouse they are diffrent from a normal person and our mindset are not used of what they are. But with such a rapid growing society, people try to accept things for what they are. I'l like to bring up an example, in the past handicapped people does not go to a normal school becouse they are not accepted but now they can go to a normal school. This is becouse people will slowly accept things and change thier mindset. Homosexuality should be legalised but with a certain requirements and which will be eased once people to start to accept them.
"protect the well being of my delicate little fingers." ^It ain't delicate at all"
"When this happens, people who aren't homo will start making fun of them, perhaps to the extent of giving disgusted remarks such as "eeeeee", or "oh my gosh" and evrything else."
the text quoted above is from your post as seen above, I would like to ask you is this based on your own opinion or the public? If it were to be of your own opinion, then i feel you are only commenting on how YOU yourself will react when you vitness such behaviour in public. If it were to be based on the public then i feel it is too early to actually say how will they react because the law has not been passed therefore such judgement about homosexuals is totally unjustified.
"If it were to be based on the public then i feel it is too early to actually say how will they react because the law has not been passed therefore such judgement about homosexuals is totally unjustified" ~timo~
Well, personally i have to agree with Midhambr regarding the remarks. Although the law has not yet been passed, I feel that if the public were to react in the way that Midhambr had suggested, don't you think that the homosexuals would feel insulted especially if the law was passed.
I mean, not everyone would be open to the idea of homosexuality and also you have to view homosexuality in the asian aspect of the world. Unlike western countries such as the US, some people in asia, i feel are just opening up to notion of homosexuality.
Personally, I don't mind homosexuality being legalised but i feel that now is seriously not the time for homosexuality to be legalised yet as I've mention earlier the public, in asian aspect, may not be so receptive to see homosexuals showing public display of affection to each other.
On the contray to feisal, theres no denying that homosexuals will feel unhappy when people poke fun or cast remarks at them but the thing here is HOW SURE ARE YOU that the public will react in the way you have stated as above? you must understand that singapore is considered a first class nation and we very much opening up already. what u said your comment may apply very well 10 years ago but we are currently living in the 21st century where abstaining to sex until marriage is a thing of the past therefore this shows that majority of the current generation may or will be open to the idea of hemosexuality being legalised. Having said that, i still have to say that there will be a certain portion of people that will be against the idea of allowing homosexuals here but at the end of the day, i believe they will grow to accept idea.
Yes, for me, our country is a country which is more conservative comparing with some western contries. We haven't well prepared to accept this yet, so, homosexuality should not be legalised. Homosexuality should be legalised, but not now, maybe in the future.
Democracy?Human rights?Openness of society?These are the factors that we should consider blow-by-blow before make such an important decision or conclusion.I personally agree that every human has human rights to do the things what we want.Homos are always remained the minority group in the society,however, they still have the rights to achieve or strive for the society status which they deserved to be.Just like normal relationship,they find their partners who care and love each other,but just different in gender.My view is:Homosexuality cab be legalised,but under some requirement or restriction.Why that I say so?Something is allowed when it doesn't disturb the social order.Therefore,some intimate behaviour should not be done in public by the homos as it will bring the uneasiness and disturbance to the society.There's one thing I want to say,we cannot legalised the homosexuality just because of Singapore is first class country,there is no point to make a blind imitation due to this immature reason.The openness and cultural background of society are the more significant factors to weigh in mind.
i do agree that homosexuality should not be legalised. there are many reasons to this. but before that, we also have heard different cases of students in the boys school found to have an intimate relationship with each other. If this should be legalised, when will our parents worries end? Another thing that has a lot of concerns is the low birth rate, which is also affecting singapore in many ways. If it should be legalise, many women will be left single and this hinders the number of birth rate from increasing. This would in turn affect singapore economy, forcing them to bring in foreign expertise. If this happens, where will singaporeans stand?
Personally,i do not disagree with homosexuality being legalised in singapore. I feel that it is perfectly fine if both parties are happy with one another. Why break up some happy relationship just because we find it disgusting and stuffs like that? I have to agree to what James had pointed out. I feel that there is no fault in them or the relationship if they do have such mindsets. We should never discriminate people like them in our society. yes...and so why not? It will just need more time for most of the people especially in Spore to accept that HOMOSEXUALITY IS PERFECTLY FINE and that its alright to be legalised.
It is because son or daughter might not grow up like 'other boys and girls', but the behaviour would not lead to disgust or them being disowned.
Forget about the concerns on the low birth rate. But hey, personally, i think this a social disease. It can be a strong influence.
In the future , I do not want my son to be like that.
This will also disrupt the local culture and traditions in different races communities : especially in marriages.
I think whatever homosexuals do in private, it is their own business. But respect the public if they are outside. This is Singapore and not America or Europe.
Whether homosexuality is genetic or not , i still think that it is abnormal.
Homosexuality should not be legalised. What happens is by homosexual, it could lead to AIDS.
Also, it is against most of the religion in the world because it could not even produce a continuous generation in life. Tell me, in Singapore, is it majority people are lesbian or gay?
No, it is very little. Why? Because it didn't benefit yourself and to the country. U could not produce babies or contribute something for the country. Singapore is a small country and had least birth rate. For what the government give money of $6000 to those who just give birth to first child?
If it does benefit the country, yourself, your family, then you may proceed. If not, wait long long.

yes, because see from asia view this is should not be and unacceptable thing
