The Aware Saga

The Aware Saga unfolds in Singapore. An ugly battle between Christian anti-gay fundamentalists against a majority who wants the organisation to represent the rights of all women regardless of sexual orientation.

About freaking time that Singaporeans started taking an interest in whats going on.

It's good to know that not everyone here is asleep.

Cheers to the old guard!

1,399 hellos, Saithelord's "why do you care what an organization teaches. go do your part, and improve yourself as a parent, and teach your kids the right thing".

You would teach your kids the right thing and not care organizations teaching your kids the wrong things in their schools"?

Your brain is in your rectum, with what is normally in rectums being in your cranium?

1,218 hellos clarrotXmen.

Would your big man come running down from upstair to smack you - or to love and tolerate you - upon finding that you have been having consensual safe anal sex with your 18 year old neighbour, in the private domain of your bedroom?

Your big man is a Buddhist, a Catholic, a Confucianist, a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Taoist?

Or is your big man a practitioner of witchcraft & the doing of "private domain consensual adult things" with Dana Lam & company?

Damn, seriously I don't even think it's right to put religion into this issue!!!! That's why the new exco failed to prevail....

ARGH! Honestly, have anyone in this world seen god to even put words into his mouth? I know it's about faith in him and everything.... But to say the big man upstairs is against the fellow gays, his own children? I don't understand this!

And what has AWARE, a women rights' association have to do with the LGBT in SG?

[tracy1010]

Yes, of course from a reporter's/media's stand, it would be of sheer frustration if they aren't allowed entry (especially when their basic aim is to report news). What is the best way to show what REALLY happened? Of course it's preferable to see real videos than to hear reported stuff from people. Sure she (and the rest) would be angry. She overdid in showing her anger, but I think that she should go ahead with it, but make it subtler. We should push SG's direction into more freedom of speech:)

[tracy1010]

I mean AWARE should revolve around women's issues and family related issues. Suddenly, the whole attention shifted to gays? Not that I have objections to the objections of gay sex and all, but it goes to show that the new guard has some teamwork and direction problems, you think?

[denzuko1]

The new exco has changed their stand many times. As I recall they went and challenge the old guard solely on Homosexuality agenda and nothing else.

I would really not trust Josie when she claim that she will defend a Lesbian for unfair treatment, especially when she is already discriminating her status.

[sgcommoner]

So previously the MOE said AWARE's programmes are okay.

Now, suddenly, the programmes are suspended.

Why?
