I refer to Wilde Lettuce's letter Why bother about gays? questioning Dr HT Tan's motive of presenting his professional views on the subject of homosexuality.

The most immediate answer to the question 'Why bother about gays?' is very simple and straightforward: some gays want others to 'bother' about them.

Many homosexuals are not living quietly but are aggressively promoting their sexual lifestyle and preference in public domains (which are accessible to children), to the society at large (including within the Christian community like the Anglican Church in the United States).

Their lobby groups are working hard to normalise or even glorify homosexuality in the names of 'personal freedom', 'enlightenment', 'human rights', 'democracy', 'liberalism' and 'modernity'.

Homosexual lobby groups are now also advocating the right to same-sex marriage, priesthood in some Christian churches (like the Anglican) as well as adoption of children by same-sex 'parents'.

Others, especially those with parental responsibility and religious commitments, have the right to respond and speak up against what they consider to be an anti-social and anti-civilisational sexual lifestyle or preference that would ultimately bring moral ruin or devastation to human society.

Homosexuality, in my opinion, destroys the most fundamental unit of human society and civilisation, namely the family formed by heterosexual parents and their naturally conceived children.

I am for freedom but freedom must not bring about moral anarchy and nihilism that will in turn only bring us human beings back to our beastly state where 'freedom' also means 'liberal tolerance' for incest, bestiality, homosexuality and the cult of free-for-all sex..
