Homosexual Lobby, Bullying Tactics Gone Too Far
Yesterday was an interesting day.
For sometime, we hear the homosexual lobby play the victim card. They claim they just want to be heard. That their sexual proclivities should be recognised. That their immorality should not be questioned.
They demanded for their choices to be accepted and normalised. When anyone questions their claims, the questioner is seen as being intolerant. Their lifestyle and choices are seen as given. The victim card is played repeatedly.
But today, we see how vicious the homosexual lobby really is. How intolerant they really are. How vindictive their tactics.
When Assoc Prof Khairudin Aljunied wrote his Facebook post on the need to cleanse society of homosexual behaviour, homosexual advocates launched a campaign against him. “Benjamin Seet, a graduate student in Political Science; Melissa Tsang, a former Law student who is reapplying for admission into Arts; and Khairulanwar Zaini a final-year undergraduate in Political Science and Philosophy” are organising a petition to be submitted to the Provost of NUS against Khairudin.
For these homosexual advocates, their behaviour is beyond reproach.Anyone who dares to question their immorality is targeted.
Anyone who seek to return society to family values would be attacked.
Anyone who raise any objection to their attempt to make homosexuality normal is abused.
We need to be clear that the homosexual lobby is not about creating safe spaces. They are not interested in engagement. They have no interest in debates. They do not care about morality or positive conduct.
All they want is for their behaviour to be recognised. And anyone who speak against it is an enemy that need to be removed.
Lets not kid ourselves. They are not a tolerant group.
The question for us is a simple one. What do we do about these intolerant, militant and self interested homosexual lobby?
Do we keep quiet and cower while they attack anyone who dare to speak?
Or do we finally say that this enough?
How we respond define not only how our society will be.
It also defines who we are. Are we social cowards who realise the homosexual lobby is taking advantage of our silence and continue to keep our mouths shut?Or do we finally respond and take back the ground and stop these bullying tactics they employ?
Are we going to do what is right?
Are we finally going to say that the homosexual lobby has gone too far?
Are we finally going to say this is enough?

PERGAS’ RESPONSE TO HPB’S FAQ ON SEXUALITY
MEDIA STATEMENT
11 February 2014
PERGAS’ RESPONSE TO HPB’S FAQ ON SEXUALITY
This response is to record Pergas’ disappointment to the Health Promotion Board’s (HPB) recent FAQ on sexuality.
2 Pergas finds that the FAQ is insensitive towards the prevailing view of the Singaporean society. This is as reflected in the recent Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) survey which reported that 78.2% of Singaporeans views are generally conservative towards same-sex relation. As a national health board, Pergas is of the view that HPB should not have presented its FAQ in a manner that can be construed by some as tacit support in normalising same-sex relations.
3 Pergas views that the message should be directed at the importance of a traditional family unit rather than implicitly showing support towards same-sex behaviour.
4 Pergas would also like to note that the FAQ is in contrast to the state’s pro-family policy. The pro-homosexuality stance reflected in the FAQ undermines the traditional family unit which is essential in building our society.
5 Pergas would like to assert that the family unit is a fundamental institution of human society. According to the higher objectives of Islamic Law, the family unit serves to bring in new generation and preserve the existence of humankind. For that reason, Islam gives attention in establishing a family only through the legal marriage of a man and woman. Any form of extra-marital or same-sex relations are hence prohibited in Islam.
6 Notwithstanding the above, Pergas would also like to emphasize that in no way the ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender’ or LGBT should be ostracised by the society. In line with the teachings of Islam which promote love and mercy, we must avoid rejecting them as individuals and should treat them with love and compassion.
7 Pergas also advise Muslim to convey the true message of Islam and guide our Muslims LGBT to the right path. Meanwhile, Pergas also encourages those Muslims who are facing sexuality issues, such as tendency towards homosexuality/bisexuality to seek proper religious guidance and psychological guidance from asatizah (religious teachers) and counselors who have knowledge on Islamic perspective in this matter.
8 Finally, Pergas wishes to state its readiness to be consulted on potentially sensitive issues such as this matter in the future. This is to ensure that the interests of all groups are represented in the consideration of government agencies such as HPB.
