Mr Lee Hsien LoongPrime MinisterPrime Minister's OfficeOrchard RoadIstanaSingapore 238823Dear Mr Prime Minister,RETENTION OF SECTION 377A. PENAL CODEAs concerned citizens of Singapore we give the government in wanting to retain S377A of the Penal Code for the good of our children our families and all Singaporeans. There are many reasons why the retention of S377A is so important:S377A is a reflection of the sentiments of the majority of society. Most Singaporeans direct conservative family values and do not accept homosexuality as the norm. (see Singaporeans’ Attitudes toward Lesbians and Gay Men and their Tolerance of Media Portrayals of Homosexuality by Benjamin H. Detenber. Mark Cenite et al.. International Journal of Public Opinion Research) Repealing S377A is a vehicle to force homosexuality on a conservative population that is not ready for homosexuality. Sexual preference is not about civil rights and has nothing to do with equality or tolerance. Repealing S377A would in fact be the first step towards mainstreaming the homosexual lifestyle which has been shown elsewhere to lead to:Calls to contract the minimum age for consensual homosexual sex;A public education system that teaches acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle under the banner of "tolerance";The redefinition of marriage to include (gay) civil unions and same-sex marriages and to extend marriage and parenthood benefits to them;Adoption by same-sex parents. In short repealing S377A could bring about to the modification of core out family values and the family unit as we know it. The majority of Singaporeans want our children to grow up in a traditional environment that espouses healthy and wholesome traditional family values. We do not want the homosexual lifestyle to be promoted or celebrated. We ask the Government to do what is right and bear S377A for the future of our children and our nation.
