i think this is the case although no mention of the school.

I am glad her claim for damages is unsuccessful.

It is a good read indeed, made particularly more poignant by the fact that the author is a child of same-sex parents.
Thank you for sharing.

Last time in sch, there was this essay topic.


Humans are programmed to self destruct.

Apparently in some society, this appears to be true.

Pity the normal ones who hv to suffer bcoz of a few defective ones.

Using the same argument, what a LGBT person makes professionally is going to the pro-LGBT belief and cause, hence they should be prohibited from doing their professional job? And if IKEA hires them, IKEA is also showing hyprocrisy because it also believes in the Singapore's definition of family and its value?

The only difference here is the pro-LGBT camp is loud and aggressive whereas the not pro-LGBT camp typically choose to remain quiet after seeing how many people being lambasted for their belief which ironically is more mainstream and aligned with what we have chosen for Singapore. Talk about ironies of life.

1. What is 'Singapore's definition of family and its value'? The campaign for equality does not change the current definition, only adds to it. So current families will not be affected.

2. I was not talking about products, but of funding. The proceeds goes to Khong's anti-LGBT campign.

3. And can we really say that he should have the freedom to oppress another group's rights? And yes, I can agree that the pro-LGBT group should not be given the right to oppress IKEA(how does this work?). But the push for inequality by Khong does oppress one group. The push for equality for the LGBTs does not oppress any groups. Heterosexuals wont suddenly be restricted from marrying or doing whatever they please just because gays get unionised.

The case was settled 3 yrs ago. Wonder who initiated to reopen the case?

Can do like that one mah? I mean long ago happened, can reopen the case again

precisely...don't think it is the school who will reopen the case.

honestly, I don't get the logic of this 18 year suing her former school. it's not like the whole school offended her right? for everyday that a lawyer attends court is a lot of money.


where would she have the money if not for her parents backing?

And dont bring religion into this. I said state-sanctioned civil unions, which are separate from God-sanctioned religious marriages.

On the flipside, you 'advocating for traditional values' does infringe on the homosexuals' rights and liberty.

I honestly like to know, open question to everyone here, how does gay people getting married somehow infringe on your personal liberties?

Actually, I have nothing against state-sanctioned civil unions. But then, you have to go muddy up the waters and confuse me by referring to a state-sanctioned civil union as \"getting married\". This despite just drawing a distinction between a state sanctioned civil union and a God-sanctioned religious marriage.
