I Am @ Youth.SG

Here's my point of view about this really sticky and complicated issue on homosexuality.
Right now, I speak from an ordinary teenager's point of view. If my 18 April post had led you to question my orientation, question no further. I'm just a crush-less teenager.

If teenagers were to say "I'm a homosexual." Can you trust it? Can you doubtlessly accept that statement?
Not me.

Under what circumstances do teenagers have a right to say "It doesn't matter. And I love him/her." Are we mature enough, have we seen the world and lived through everything the society has to offer us?

Many of the older ones say, "Don't worry, they'll grow out of it."
And I agree with that.

Homosexuality has developed into a trend in many schools all across Singapore (even in co-ed schools), and it is, definitely without a doubt, a growing trend.
This 'homosexuality' might or might not last. It really depends.


Looking at this from a much 'older' and assumably wiser point-of-view, there are much more things to deal with.



If you've read The Straits Times (Home section) on Monday. Homosexuality: Govt not moral police but it's mindful of people's concerns.

(Clip above)
I quote MM Lee Kuan Yew,
"Singapore needs a practical and pragmatic approach and adjust without upsetting segments of society and their sense of propriety of what is right and wrong."
"If in fact it is true, and I have asked doctors this, that you are genetically born a homosexual - because that's the nature of the genetic random transmission of genes - you can't help it. So why should we criminalise it?"

The ministry of Home Affairs said homosexuality was not widely accepted here, but added that it would not be 'proactive' in enforcing this law against consensual acts that take place in private.





I've heard many adults around me talking about this issue, maybe because I'm surrounded by adults who LOVE to talk about current issues.
They talk about how they have really TALENTED open homosexuals in their office, and they're really FUN to be with.

I've interviewed 60 people aged 16 to 29. All with different backgrounds and religions. The mode age was 19.

And through this, we can see that society is absolutely more liberal than before, where people are (allow me to use chinese) 老化.

These homosexuals, too, are just human. We perceive them to be 'freaks of nature' just because they don't think the way society terms as 'accepted'.

Don't we realise that they have talents too? They might just very well be one of the future leaders of Singapore. When we reject them, they flee elsewhere where they will seek for that acceptance. We are losing TALENTS. All because we don't advocate their decision to be a homosexual.

Some people are ultimately disgusted by these homosexuals.
Could it be because of the association we have for gay behaviour with some sort of bad undisciplined unconservative behaviour similar to drug abuse??

However, I also believe that no one wants to voluntarily emerge as an outcast of society. No one deserves to be treated abnormally because of who he or she is.
Let's look at it this way. In Singapore today, if a child was disowned because she happened to be born female, a huge hullabaloo will occur. After all, she was "born that way". Yet it is not unheard of for many gay Singaporeans to have been threatened with tears and emotional blackmail after "coming out" to their familes. Numerous counselling sessions. Trying to find out the "cause" of their homosexuality. Trying to change them, to remove them from the "perversion".

It's really up to one to decide what's right, or not so right. I make no decision for you.


I thank YouTube for their videos. And the 60 youth I've interviewed.
