As a second Follow up.

I believe we’re not arguing over the effect of my usage of the word ‘race’, because I am using it as an analogy. I was using it to show that Singapore has to accept the Gays in Singapore, to become Cosmopolitan. There is not need to attack my usage of English, instead, the points of my argument. If you can state that a race is a group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution. Then as an analogy, there should be nothing wrong with using Gays as a race.

Section 337 in the penal code states, “Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animals, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years, and shall also be liable to fine."

I believe you’ve the misconception of the Penal Code 337A. It still does not allow anyone to have sex openly, homosexual or heterosexual. It is true that policemen don’t barge into people’s room and catch them for having homosexual sex. I’m saying that they can. They don’t do it in front of us now, because it is a crime, and they still won’t do it in front of use anytime soon, because it is still a crime.

Then again, if you say that the code is not active, why keep it? Why burden ourselves with it when we don’t even use it? We can give a little pressure off a minority by use removing something we don’t use

Your argument was Gays were not creative writers. Then you threw some names about. My argument was that there were gays who were creative writers, who are creative writers, and who can be creative writers. You cannot deny that. I did not lump them all together and say that they were all talents. It is not an insult to you, I and all Singaporeans, because there are Gay Singaporeans. You by saying that are taking a very one-sided view, discriminating Gays.

Why are you so hard on Gays, I may ask you. It is probably because of the simple reason that you have known few or you have never been socializing with them. If you understand them, you would have taken their thoughts, feelings and viewpoints into consideration before arguing against repealing 337A. The picture is complete when all pieces are put in place. Even if it is one tiny piece missing, It will never be called finished.
