Sinapore's Loong and Another Gay Bashing Friend

If this is not the ultimate in self-serving hypocrisy, then what is? Oral and anal sex is now OK for "conservative" Singapore heteros, but not for gays? Please. And then to lecture and intimidate LGBT's on top of it all.

Do you get that gays are human, and as they say: GAY= Good As You. To put a fine point on it, now the globe knows they can come to Singapore and do what they want with prostitutes without fear of prosecution. Some straight power mongers are just laughable and transparent monsters in nice suits. So modern, so silly, but soooo menacing. Sound familiar, Prime Minister Loong?

"Singapore relaxes strict sex laws for heterosexuals, but retains ban on gay sex

SINGAPORE: Singapore lawmakers have passed a law decriminalizing oral and anal sex for adult heterosexuals but kept a ban on gay sex, saying the bill was what citizens in the conservative city-state wanted.

Advocates for the decriminalization of gay sex said Wednesday they were disappointed with the decision by the country's parliament, but hoped for more informal dialogue on the issue in the future.

Parliamentarians passed the law Tuesday in the most extensive revision of the Penal Code in more than two decades.

The changes include making oral and anal sex between consenting heterosexual adults no longer an offense. But Section 377A, which deals with the same acts between men, will remain in force with a maximum penalty of two years in jail.

"Singapore is basically a conservative society. The family is the basic building block of this society," Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in a speech to lawmakers ahead of the vote. "And by family in Singapore we mean one man, one woman marrying, having children and bringing up children within that framework of a stable family unit."

Lee also warned gay rights activists against forcing the issue, which he said has become an emotional and divisive matter that was best left to evolve gradually.

"The more gay activists push this agenda, the stronger will be the push-back from conservative forces in our society," Lee said. "The result will be counterproductive because it's going to lead to less space for the gay community in Singapore."

The bill was passed after two days of debate that included a discussion of a petition submitted Monday by a group of Singaporeans asking to decriminalize gay sex. The petition, signed by 2,341 people in three days, said the government's proposal to legalize oral and anal sex for heterosexual adults only was unjust." CLICK HEADLINE FOR MORE.
