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.'

Where does it says it applies only to men and not women?
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.

Yes. You should start preparing your bag. Because Singapore is under a religion by the name of PAP.Originally posted by laurence82:The day any religious group has stranglehold on the laws in Singapore, i'll pack my bags and move out
