COMMENT There have been websites, YouTube posts, Facebook posts and Twitter posts which have been engaging in gay-bashing, fear-mongering and hate-mongering against gay Singaporeans, as we near the general election.

The “votepap” and “fakeSDP” Twitter accounts have been circulating a video and posting comments about the opposition SDP (Social Democratic Party) and its “gay agenda”. Worse still, the title “gay agenda” plays on the fears of people who probably know as much as the antagonists.

Furthermore, the description of the video states that the SDP is trying to hide the video, which is about “lowering age of consent for sex with boys aged 14 and repeal of 377A.” This does not make sense at all.

NONE S377A criminalises consensual sex between adult men. Its repeal does not affect me one bit, nor will it affect my family. Its repeal will only allow gay men to have the same right as straight men to have consensual adult sex. Perhaps it is the obsessive homophobic preoccupation and imaginings of gay sex that drives support for this colonial-inherited statute.

You know what is dangerous and damaging to families? Not gay rights, but homophobic bigots who raise ill-adjusted homophobic kids who see it is okay to indulge in bullying, hatred, fear-mongering and to some extent, violent behaviour.

The “gay agenda” is a concoction of hatred and fear-mongering, created by heterosexist supremacist bigots, who are not only ill-adjusted, ignorant, insecure, but are manipulative, only feel better about themselves by putting others down, and are essentially dangerous to society as a whole.

The “fakeSDP” account has the audacity to post the childish yet inflammatory tweet “fakeSDP: @thefakeSAF Watch out! @yourSDP will increase the faggots in the SAF…http://bit.ly/hKXz7H #sgelections @fakeMOE #sg KEEP SDP OUT!”
