so if their children are gay, they should have to live their whole life in denial, grief and face unnecessary guilt and shame, thinking there is something wrong with themselves when there isn't, for the sake of adherence to religion? I don't see the logic thereOriginally posted by oxford mushroom:Gays have become more vocal about having greater participation in society. But if gays want greater acceptance, the biggest mistake is to put society on the defensive. We live in a relatively conservative society which is much more religious than many western nations.
It is a fact that adherents of two major religions believe homosexuality is contrary to the teachings of their faiths. They do not seek to convert homosexuals, but do not want gay people to turn their children against the teachings of their mosques and churches either.
Instead of reassuring religious Singaporeans that gays will respect their religions, I have seen gay people attacking religious teachings and trying to ridicule revered religious texts. That is the worse mistake they can make, for they have magnified the fears of the conservative majority in so doing.
My views on gays? I have no issue with they do in the privacy of their homes but it is the arrogance and complete disregard for the cultural and religious sensitivities of the majority that irks me.

Yes..tsk tsk..some caveman just cant adjust themselves to fit e enviroment they r in, n these pple r always stcuk in their generation-to generation old-fashioned way of thinking....haizOriginally posted by ShutterBug:Ok people, here is a list of topics that will always go into an infinte loop:
>> Religion
>> Race
>> Gays/Lesbians
Pointless debates. They are all people.
Not everyone shares your views on homosexuality. Not everyone thinks there is nothing wrong with being gay and not everyone thinks it cannot be changed. You have your own views and that is fine. But the world does not revolve around you and those who choose to hold to their religious belief have the right to do so.Originally posted by HENG@:so if their children are gay, they should have to live their whole life in denial, grief and face unnecessary guilt and shame, thinking there is something wrong with themselves when there isn't, for the sake of adherence to religion?

u know, ignorance is nothing to be proud of. Religious beliefs have proven to be wrong time and time again. Earth at the center of the universe, earth is flat, it is right to kill in the name of (insert religion name here)'s God. Sounds familiar? Just because they don't believe that sexuality is diversified in all living beings, doesn't make that a fact, and the fact also remains that those gay people who were born into a religious family, will end up suffering. Should they be allowed to suffer due to ignorance? Is religion a good excuse for discrimination? There are some things u have to speak up against, even if it means speaking up against religion. The problem with too many people is they THINK the world revolves around their religion, to the extent they don't even respect other religions. I can name at least 2... C*******ns and M****ms. IF u wanna talk about religious sensitivity, maybe u;d do well to start off from them.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Not everyone shares your views on homosexuality.

and im getting sick of the replies i see from bigots. Makes me wonder if society isn't going further backwards into the age of ignorance?Originally posted by NuLife:I beginning get sick from all these arguments abt gays.
Especially with some of their replies.
It only gets on my nerves more.
There are some things u have to speak up against, even if it means speaking up against religion.If all gays take that stand, there will be no place for them in multi-racial, multi-religious Singapore. They will always be marginalized in society and it's their own fault.
The thing is, Society hides under the label of being "conservative" in order to segregate. Why is there a need to classify and segregate in the first place? Religious teachings always teaches good. Religious teachings do not teach you to fear gays or hate them. People who claim that these religious text teaches them to hate gays or go against them are obviously ignorant.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Gays have become more vocal about having greater participation in society.

But its a give and take thing. Bigotry has no place in sg, whether its bigotry against race or sexuality. Since singapore is a multi-racial society, combating bigotry is important to the society. So why do u have to differentiate between racial bigotry and sexuality bigotry? Or do u mean they should take bigotry lying down just "for the sake" of society?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:If all gays take that stand, there will be no place for them in multi-racial, multi-religious Singapore.

homosexuality is innate and beyond control,
we should be satisfied they're just physically/mentally challenged,
