'Criminalise lesbianism, say Singapore Church leaders'
-
The Church is entitled to their own beliefs, but now it seems they want to impose their religious beliefs on all 'non-believers' as well :
Homosexual lifestyle: NCCS commends Govt on taking bold stand
(c) We are aware that the proposed amendment to delete section 377 PC but on the other hand retaining section 377A PC may be controversial in some quarters. Nevertheless, we consider homosexual acts to be sinful, abhorrent and deviant, whether consensual or not. The NCCS commends the Government on taking a clear, unequivocal and bold stand of neither encouraging nor endorsing a homosexual lifestyle and opposing the presentation of the same as part of a mainstream way of life. At the same time, we do not condemn homosexuals as the Bible calls us to hate the sin but love the sinner. Given that section 377A PC criminalises homosexuality whether done private or publicly, we are of the view that a similar prohibition ought to be enacted in respect of lesbianism, considering that lesbianism (like homosexuality) is also abhorrent and deviant, whether consensual or not.'

n.
1. Sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
2. Sexual activity with another of the same sex.
Where does it says it applies only to men and not women? -
Yeah it is, but they're referring to the little technicalities in the law, where acts between men are mentioned but not between women.Originally posted by Ito_^:i always thought lesbianism == homosexual?
Previously, Section 377 of the Penal code was broad enough to cover homosexuals of both genders, but now that Section 377A has been removed.. this means it's now technically legal for women, but not men, to engage in homosexual acts. -

I hereby condemn NCCS for perverting the word of God and choosing to interpret the bible in a bigotry manner.
Maybe the government should criminalise organisations like them for seeking to instill hate in society and causing further segregation. -
Penal Code
Unnatural offences.
377. 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.
Explanation.
Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section.
Outrages on decency.
377A. Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or abets the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years. -
Correction, my bad.. it was the other way round. Section 377 has been removed, but 377A stays.Originally posted by spinsugar:Yeah it is, but they're referring to the little technicalities in the law, where acts between men are mentioned but not between women.
Previously, Section 377 of the Penal code was broad enough to cover homosexuals of both genders, but now that Section 377A has been removed.. this means it's now technically legal for women, but not men, to engage in homosexual acts.
So that still means being lesbian is ok now, but being gay is not (according to the law).. So NCCS not happy lah. They want being lesbian to be illegal too. -
